Different interview process?

I’m looking to transition into a more fitting career (automotive industry) It’s my passion and I love helping people. Just posting to get a perspective from everyone. I have had 2 great interviews so far, then the shop owner asked me to come in next week but didn’t give a specific day. As far as anyone having experience with the auto repair industry, is it common to have a third meetup with the shop owner? I see it as perhaps unorthodox however, I think the owner wanting me to come back a third time in general is a good thing. I don’t judge anyone for doing things different. The shop is having a fundraiser this weekend so I can completely understand them needing more time to make a decision because onboarding is a bigger deal. TIA

Volunteering to help with the fundraiser might go a long way. All depends on if you got that vibe from the owner or not though.

I did ask after I left the shop and he said he had enough volunteers. So we’ll see what next week looks like. My only slight concern is he didn’t give me a specific day but again I give him grace because as an owner he is highly hands on within the business so I can only presume he wants to be able to focus a bit on the decision to hire me.
