I applied through other source. I interviewed at Applebee's (Everett, WA)
Interview
Basic. There isn’t too much to say about this. It was generic general questions about my skills. As I’ve said, not too much to say. But this screen is asking me to say more. I haven’t advice to give.
The process was quick and covered what you would expect to hear during an interview. Sales, leadership, training, what things were expected from the higher ups, etc. There was only one interview.
