Is a second interview a good thing?

Question

Is a second interview a good sign? I’ve heard that it usually is, but I had a different experience in my current job. My manager told me that she arranged a second interview with another manager because she “wasn’t sure about me.” I did end up getting hired, but I’m still uncertain about the meaning of a second interview in different situations. 
Yesterday, I had my first interview at Jamba Juice, and they scheduled me for a second one this morning. I felt it went well; there were plenty of smiles and laughs with both the manager and the assistant, or possibly the co-manager. They said I would hear back from them in a few days, but I’m left wondering whether they wanted me in for a second interview because they liked me or if they were still unsure. Additionally, my first interview was meant to be with the assistant or co-manager, but she was busy, so the main manager interviewed me instead. Is it possible that they set up the second interview just to ensure the person I was supposed to meet could finally evaluate me?

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.
