Interview
I was interviewed for a Loss Prevention Associate job in 2013. I was told their dress code was business casual so thats how I dressed for my interview. When I got to the store I was taken by the Loss Prevention Manager into an office. The interview began with him asking a few questions about myself and then he began reading from a paper asking very general questions such as "tell me about a time you achieved a goal." There were probably 10 of these questions then he asked a series of LP related questions such as "How do you respond to conflict." Most of the questions were open ended general questions. I got the impression he wanted to see where I took the interview. Basically I think he just wanted to hear confident and reasonably intelligent answers.

I applied online. I interviewed at Kmart (Tampa, FL) in July 2017
Interview
asked lots of basic situational questions. What should you do if.... type stuff. I had the experience and answered the questions. The interviewer seemed happy with my responses. Interview took a total of about 45 mins. I felt good about it but also felt like I would not fit in at all. I was nicely dressed as anyone would be for a job interview but the interviewer made me feel like i was way over dressed for the type of person they were seeking.

Interview
Was called for an interview a few days after I applied. First interview was with the store manager and HR manager, followed by interview with LP manager about a week later. Both interviews were rather easy, and all the managers are quite nice, but the base pay I was offered is terrible, at 8.80/hr.
