Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Dickson City, PA Sep 2011 – Reviewed Apr 23, 2013
Interview Details – I went in and asked if they were hiring, and then I got an application and filled it out. I took it back later that day, and asked to talk to the manager. Michelle is the General Manager there, and she was willing to interview me right there on the spot. She didn't even look at my application first. She did glance it over as we were sitting at one of the tables talking.
Interview Question – There were not any difficult questions. She just wanted to know that I was planning on being there for more than 3 months. Answer Question

Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Manassas, VA Jun 2012 – Reviewed Mar 21, 2013
Interview Details – I applied online and got called in for an in-person interview that same week. I was interviewed by three separate managers, the first (what I later found out to be a "mid" manager) and second I felt were mainly to keep me occupied until the third and main interviewer, the General Manager. They were all pretty friendly. After speaking with each for a few minutes about my application, why I was applying, where I was in my life (e.g. high school grad, where I was going after high school, what I wanted to do) and what I wanted to get out of the job, I was offered a starting job as a host with an hourly pay of $7.75 (a rate that varies amongst the hospos, I've discovered).
Interview Question – Where do you see yourself going with this job? Answer Question
Negotiation Details – I was completely inexperienced - this was my first job in the working world, so I took what they offered me without complaint, a rate a few quarters higher than minimum wage.
