Interview
Asked easy questions. Much of it was based on personality and some were situational. I felt I did terrible. It was my first job interview and I was young. Some answers I gave I felt would have disqualified me from other jobs. However, the manager that interviewed me was kind and gave me a chance. I worked there for quite some time during college.
