Interview
Went through 3 interviews before promoted and they only take a couple weeks. Use the 2 weeks the posting is open to do your due diligence at your own store and several others! Easiest to be promoted within due to team rapport, department knowledge and store familiarity.
Know your teams labor percentage, weekly sales, what affects margin, and blended margin.
Most questions are situational about leadership style.
