Is a second interview a good thing?

Question

People often say that a second interview is a good sign, but I’m feeling uncertain based on past experiences. For example, in my current job, my manager told me she had me do a second interview with another manager because she “wasn’t sure about me.” Of course, I ended up getting hired! 
Yesterday, I had my first interview at Jamba Juice, and they scheduled me for a second one this morning. The second interview seemed to go well—there were lots of smiles and laughs with both the manager and the assistant (or possibly co-manager). They told me I’d hear back from them in a few days, but I’m still unsure about what their intentions might be. Did they call me in for a second interview because they liked me or because they were unsure about me?
To add some context, my first interview was supposed to be with the assistant or co-manager, but she was busy, so the main manager interviewed me instead. Maybe the second interview was simply to give the person who was originally supposed to interview me a chance? What do you think a second interview usually indicates in situations like this?

You’re overhtinking this.  If th4e first person doesn’t like you, then they dodn’t sschedule a second interview.

Usually a second interview is a good thing. It almost always means the person who first interviewed you saw no reason to remove you from the pool of applicants.

Once in a while a second interview means the person who conducted the first one made some mistake–failed to include someone who needed to be there, forgot to ask important questions, like that. But that’s unusual.
