Kind of strange as I was initially asked why I never worked in sales for them prior to looking to join as a manager. The store manager had a problem with that. What was truly disconcerting is the fact that the hours were never described in detail. A rosy picture was painted about the role with statements like: "you won't have to do the work, just manage it"

I was promoted from within and I'll never forget one of my previous store managers saying: "Your performance is your interview". I took that to heart.
