I applied through other source. I interviewed at JYSK (Red Deer, AB) in Aug 2016
Interview
I had 2 interviews. Both times the ad was for assistant manager. The first time in the interview the manager was not dishelved in appearance.
She told me the interview was for a different position. The Interview questions were standard. I was told she would be in touch, I never heard back.
I applied a second time and this time I had a short phone interview with a gentleman from the east and again was told it was for assistant manager.
When I showed up for the interview once again it was for a different position. The questions were different this time but alright.
Once again I was told someone would let me know either way. I never heard back.
I find it very unprofessional for a company to not even take the 5 minutes it would take to email or call.

Other Assistant Manager interview reviews for JYSK
put through an online screening as the 1st round of interviews, followed by an zoom interview, then an in person interview with two people at their physical location, just to see the job reposted 2 days later, and got the email after the job had already been reposted. I can respect being told no to a job, but it was a long process over the course of a month to be rejected. The store manager also asked me "why would you even want to continue working retail?" valid question but just overall unprofessional,

Question 1
reasons for shrinkage, different what would you do scenarios, ask me about yourself.
Takes approx 2 months from posting date on Indeed to actually start a position. First you answer video clips, then online interview, then in person with store manager then interview with district manager.
I was sent an email about uploading a 'video interview on why I'm a fit'. I pushed back, saying if you want to talk, please book something. I got a surprise Teams invite.
Exactly one week later I got he standard 'thanks not no thanks;. I replied to that looking for feedback rather than an auto generated rejection email saying this is not how I handle the interview process.

Question 1
Standard 'what do you do as a manager now' type of thing.
