      CarHop Interview

      Jan 19, 2017
      Anonymous employee
      Columbia, SC
      Accepted offer
      Neutral experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Sonic (Columbia, SC) in Aug 2014

      Interview

      They were holding open interviews, I went promptly and dressed professionally. At the time I was 16 and there were many other high school students applying so dressing professionally and having my resume printed was the first thing that set me apart. The person doing the interviews was the owner of the store. I had to wait briefly because they were busy and he had to go inside and help. When he returned he apologized and proceeded to ask me questions and talk. Immediately after the interview he told me that I got the job on the spot then told me when to come in for orientation. Usally for a carhop a skate test is given but he said he liked me so much it wasn't necessary and even if I could not skate he would still hire me for drive thru or cook.
