Interview
Easy interview, we talked about former jobs I've held. Laid back manager...asked a few situational interview questions, but nothing too difficult. Spent most of the interview just getting to know me, and seeing what type of employee I would be. This job works for people in school or just between jobs. I wouldn't really recommend the particular location I worked at, just because it isn't super well kept. But I'm sure there are other Applebee's that aren't as bad. Hostess pay isn't great, but you can get decent tips as a server so find out how quickly you can move up.
This was a pretty easy interview process. I was asked if I had ever dealt with difficult people and to say what was my motivation for wanting to work at Applebees. It was overall very chill and I enjoyed it.
Was a simple interview and was offered a job afterwards. The manager was kind. It was easy to apply and find an interview time. I was trained shortly after and got paid for the training.
The interview process was fairly straightforward and I felt that the interviewer did what they were supposed to but the focus seemed on like what corporate wants unfortunately. The experience was fine overall though.
