Is a second interview a good thing?
Typically, people say that it is a positive sign, but my experience with my current job has made me question that perspective. My manager mentioned that she had me go through a second interview with another manager because she "wasn't sure about me." Fortunately, I still got hired!
However, yesterday I had my first interview at Jamba Juice, and they scheduled me for a second one this morning. I felt that it went well; there were lots of smiles and laughter with both the manager and the assistant, or possibly the co-manager. They mentioned that I would hear back from them in a few days, but I still find myself uncertain about what this means.
Did they want me in for a second interview because they liked me, or were they still unsure about my fit for the position? Additionally, my first interview was supposed to be with either the assistant or co-manager, but she was busy, so the main manager stepped in to interview me. Could the second interview be a chance for the person who was originally supposed to interview me to finally do so?

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.
