I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at The Label (Nashville, TN) in Mar 2012
Interview
I was hired by the owner and his Management company to run and buy for the store. He needed someone that could buy, sale, do all the marketing, advertising, as well as design, I had recently moved back from Richmond Virginian and felt like this would be something fun and new. Coming from a Corp. back ground we where all excited to see what we could do to bring a menswear store to Nashville with a L.A New York vibe that stylist and artist could shop at without going out of town.
In a nutshell that was my interview for the position.
