Interview
I applied online and got the call for an interview a week after applying. It was a really short and easy interview. They didn't seem to care much about experience either. My manager asked really simple questions mainly about myself and I was essentially hired on the spot. I'm not sure if this is true for every steak n shake location, but my location was understanding of the fact that I am a college student and was willing to work around my schedule. The most difficult question in relation to the others was "why do you want to work at steak n shake"
