I initially applied for a branch manager position. When I was contacted by the company's recruiter, I was interviewed by phone for that position for about an hour and was subsequently referred to the Regional VP, to whom I would report. I was called in for a 2 hour interview with this individual along with another regional manager. I was told that there was a company reorganization which created the positions of area managers, of which I was offered the position of Upper Inland Area Manager. Area Managers were responsible for subdivisions of Regions.
