    Hmm this is a change from past jobs I've had.

    So I applied for a job a little while ago. About a week ago I went in for an interview, since they were doing more than one interview that day they said they would call me back to let me know "if I got the job or not" <- the manager's exact words.

    Well I get a call back... but not to let me know if i got the job, but to schedule a second interview... ok, strange, I didn't think the position I was applying for required a second interview (It's just a basic customer service/cashier type position).

    So now I'm wondering, "what the heck?". Then i realized, that I was asked several questions during the first interview about whether or not I've had any experience as a supervisor.

    Now, the only reason I can think of for them wanting to give me a second interview instead of hiring me outright, is because they wanna give me a better job than the one I originally applied for. DO you think this is way out of line thinking? I do have some (albeit basic) supervisor experience, and I have MORE than enough knowledge about the product the company sells (Due to previous work experience in the same industry).

    I'm just confused is all...

    It's just a second interview. Don't read more into it than it is.
    Before I got hired by Wal-Mart back in 2004 I had 4 interviews!

      The hellhole I work for (Meijer) gives 3 interviews before hiring. This is for any/all jobs in the store.

        Strange, I only had one when that hellhole hired me.

          Hope for the best, but be prepared for the worst- worst being more time wasted and you don't get the job.

            Nope - sounds normal to me... not that I've been in that situation.

            A couple of people throughout the years have applied for one job, but been offered a higher one based on the original interview (or had a follow-up to make sure!)

            Good Luck with it!
