Question 1
When can you start? How many hours are you looking for each week? Are you willing to be cross trained? Are you willing to work holidays? Do you have a reliable form of transportation?
Just simple questions about behaviors and expereinces about other jobs that you have worked. Was very standard of the road job interview. Make sure to know what they like for cook and custmer experiences
Not too shabby
Flipped the patties and put the fries in the bag
Interviewer was nice
And the kitchen smelt good
Also found some free food left on seat after interview made me decide on working here
It was a good interview where they just asked about my previous experiences and didn't dive deep into much. I would recommend just practicing how to tell a story as communication is pretty important to this process.
