I applied in-person. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Paws for Applause (Hampton, NH) in Nov 2012
Interview
The owner of Paws for Applause had bought the veterinary hospital I had been going to.. The building next to the Hospital had been a pet store with horrible cheap products. I took the opportunity to talk to him about a boutique I had owned and run in WA state. I told him this would be the perfect place for a Boutique and that I would like to run it.
i showed him pictures and articles and slowly he understood what I had to offer.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The most difficult question was what did I want for a budget. I told him $10,000 to get started.. For some reason I was not invited to the banking meetings so I could discuss budgeting. Another $10,000 should have been allotted for advertising.
