Interviewed Feb 2012 (took a day)
Pretty typical interview. It started off with a phone interview. It was basically to see if one could adhere to the dress code and have reliable transportation. Then I was brought in for a. 1-on-1 interview. It was pretty easy. They asked what my favorite movie was, when I've had to stand in a long line, when I've ever visited a dirty establishment etc.

Interviewed Mar 2012 in San Francisco, CA (took 5 days)
I applied for the job online and about a month later got a call asking if I was still interested, my availability, and the guy also read to be the rules for example hairstyles and tattoos. He then gave me a time and date for the interview which was the following monday (this was a saturday afternoon.) I then prepared for my interview by using this website and wore slacks, dress shirt, and dress shoes.
The interview was pretty good. I walked in and they had me sit in a chair to look at the rules, guidelines and the Stubs card and told me I would have to memorize it. After about 10 minutes of sitting the manager came up to me and introduced herself along with the supervisor and they took me to a small office.
They first asked me my availability to be sure then told me exactly what I would be doing in the interview.
Answer 4 questions:
-Describe a time you had to wait in a long line, how did it go?
-Describe a time you were at a dirty restaurant, how did you react to it?
-What would you say is something about yourself you are proud of?
-When did you have to overcome a challenge? Describe it.
The manager then told me I would have to sell a Stubs card to her and the supervisor, and that I could look at it if i needed to "Its not like an open book test or anything hahaha" she said. So I sold it to her and explained what it was, she then said okay you already did the next step by explaining it in detail and the benefits of it so I think that helped. The hardest part was the last one, which was to sell a Stubs card to a customer that claimed that don't come to the movies very often. I said basically you'd have it JUST IN CASE.
The manager then said it was over and I asked if they wanted to see my resume, I brought two copies just in case. She then told me that they were gonna finish up the interviews and I'd get a call by wednesday, 6 o'clock if i got the job. If i didnt get a call, i didnt get the job, simple.
I got a call at 5:23 PM that wednesday.
I suggest you smile, have a good sense of humor at least for that day, study the Stubs card, and use this site!

Interviewed Feb 2012 (took 2 days)
Applied online, which took a few hours. I got a call a few weeks later about an interview, which was set up for the following week. It was my first interview, so I was nervous, but I was only asked a few questions, and it took 10 minutes at the most. They called me a few days later offering me a job, which I accepted.

Interviewed Feb 2012 (took a day)
I applied a couple of months ago and got called on tuesday for an interview on thursday of the same week. When I got to AMC I had to wait for maybe 15 minutes but the Manager was very polite and nice. The interview itself took 10-15 minutes and he said I would be called in one to two days if I got the job offer. I got called the very same night and was told I was hired just to wait for the call for orientation.

Interviewed Jan 2012 (took 2 weeks)
I applied online which consisted of personality questions, and 2 weeks later was called. In the call, I was asked if I could maintain good hygiene, cover up tattoos or piercings, and keep hair clean cut. (This was a Saturday) I was then told I could interview on Monday. I entered the theater and told guest services I had an interview. I was given a film crew binder holding all material on the job, it's expectations, and a brochure on the Stubs program. After reviewing that, I handed it back to an employee who led me upstairs, where I was greeted and taken to the manager's office. I gave him my resume and was asked what brought me to AMC. I was then asked if i was ever in a place where i went out of my way to help someone, a place with long lines, and a place that was dirty and what I did/ how it made me feel. We then talked about Stubs. I told him all I knew about it (be sure to memorize) and what I would say to a customer to sell them stubs, then to say what I would do if I came across a customer who didn't want a Stubs card. After that, we went over details of the job and I was allowed to ask questions. I was told offers/rejections would go out Thursday. I went in with my heart pounding (this was my first interview) and left calm and confident. Great atmosphere and great experience.

Interviewed Dec 2011 in Glendora, CA (took a day)
i submitted an application online and the next night i got a call asking me if i was interested in the job still. the guy on the phone basically went through some of the basics of what you'd have to do and how you have to look. he told me that i should go to amcstubs.com to learn about the new stubs reward card that amc offers because we'll be tested on that in the interview. he told me to go in a few days for a group interview.
when i arrived i sat down and there were people there already, when they were ready they escorted us to the office upstairs and they had chairs lined up with name tags. i found mine and sat down. the guy ended up telling us that there was a three step interview and if you passed all three interviews you'd get the job. he ended up going around asking everyone to tell us who they were, what school they go to, what they're majoring in and what not. when that was done you had someone writing down and marking down what each one of us said to keep track of our responses. then when we were all done the guy (the supervisor) asked us all to tell him what our favorite movie was. then after asked us why we wanted to work there. when we were done the supervisor and the assistant supervisor went out to discuss who'd be cut.
the second round came and i was pumped that i made it past the first. this round they basically had us act out certain scenarios of what could possibly happen with a customer and how we'd handle the situation. they had cut out about 15-20 different scenarios and each one of us had to pretend to be a customer while the other person was the worker. this part was pretty intimidating since i am not an actor and i've never gone to an interview where you had to act out a situation and handle it. then after we acted out a variety of scenes, they told us that working at AMC is all about selling, and that if you don't have the skills to sell things this is not the job for you, and that if you don't sell enough of the AMC stubs cards you will be fired so they made us act out other scenes where we had to act out certain problems co-workers face on a daily basis and how we'd handle the situation if we were working and came across this kind of a situation.
after the second round you go into a one on one with the supervisors. here they asked you about your personality etc. if they found your answers acceptable they hired you if they didn't like your personality / answers you didn't land the job. i ended up not getting the job.
DEFINITELY A HARD INTERVIEW... maybe it was just the location because i've asked friends who worked for other AMC theatres and they said they never had to go through an interview process like i did. I rated the overall experience to be negative because of how intensive the questions were. The supervisors though were extremely nice, I wish whoever got the job the best of luck!

Interviewed Apr 2010 in Largo, FL (took 5 days)
First I put in an application online. The next day I received a call from the theater. The hiring manager asked me a few questions and then we scheduled another interview for in person. I went into the theater dressed up, although I have seen others who did not and still received jobs. I was to look over some information about the company and uniform and duties I would be expected to perform and then I was called into the office for my interview. I was then asked the normal question like why I wanted the job, and such. After the interview was complete she told me that I did exceptionally and that she would let me know that day or in three days because she had the next few days off. As promised on the third day I received a call stating I had the job!

Interviewed Aug 2011 in Indianapolis, IN (took 2 weeks)
I applied online and heard back from them in about a week. When they called me back, we had a very simple phone interview where I explained that I didn't have any tattoos or anything. After that I got an interview scheduled for a week later. The interview itself was very relaxed; we just sat on a bench in the lobby where he asked me five basic life experience questions that he read off a clipboard. The answers that they're looking for are fairly obvious. If they ask you to tell them about a time you saw a dirty restaurant, make sure to say that it made you question whether or not you'd come back. When the interview was over, he told me they were interviewing throughout the week and that I'd hear back at the end of the week. At that time he called me and offered me the job. I started training about two weeks after his initial call.

Interviewed Apr 2009 in Orlando, FL (took 2 days)
I went it for my interview and was asked basic interview questions, nothing out of the ordinary. At the end of the interview the manager hired me, gave me my orientation schedule and asked me to bring in my paperwork on the first day of orientation. At orientation I found out all the other new hires had been hired on the spot as well.
