Question 1
What is your availability? What kind of experience are you looking to gain?
I was not impressed by the manager interviewing me. The manager was late and rude during our conversation. I felt humiliated because I talked about wanting to own a restaurant and the manager laughed at me. Then an employee came, interrupted us and asked when the interview would be done.
The interview was very basic for a food service job, they ask the basic questions that you would expect and the hiring manager is very accommodating, they ask about availability and how many hours you want
