Interviewed Mar 2012 (took a day)
Applied online and was contacted within a week; met next day with Assistant Manager who asked me "tell me about yourself?" and that was about it. She "passed" me on to the store manager who asked me why I thought I would like this job and what experience I had in food service. She told me about being a server, as I had no experience. She offered me the job after about 15 minutes of chatting and I started training the next day. They were short-staffed, but I think having an upbeat attitude helped in getting the job. Great group of people to work for and with. Be prepared to take in a lot during training!

Interviewed Aug 2011 in Foothill Ranch, CA (took 3 weeks)
I walked in between 2 and 4pm one day to speak with manager and turn in my resume. I was going for bartender but they told me they hire from within so I would need to apply for server. The manager took my resume and application that I printed off the internet and filled out before I came in. She said to call once a week to check to see if they were hiring. 8 days later they called me in for an interview. I had no server experience but I did have direct sales experience. The first interview was with one manager and took almost an hour. She asked many questions about how I would act in certain situations. 3 days later she called to schedule an interview with the other manager. This manager only interviewed me for about 20 minutes and asked a few more questions. They were both really nice and friendly. They are really looking for people who can deliver hospitality and they both seemed to like me. One week later I followed up to see if they had made a decision. They said they hadn't yet but to give them a few more days. 5 days later they called and offered me the job. Now I have to fill out paperwork and do orientation, then 1 week of training.

Interviewed Aug 2010 (took a day)
The interview was straight forward, they have you fill out a application and then the manager on duty sits you aside and talks to you about why you chose Chili's and if you like to work hard and have fun and make sure you ask questions to the gm about the company and himself and they like that, it shows that you're personal and never talk trash about previous job.!

Interviewed Jan 2010 (took 1 week)
You had to first fill out a the application, after the manager went over the application they have you take a personality test and math/english pattern test. This test takes about an hour and is pass or fail. If you do pass you then have to wait about a week for the management to call your references. Once this has been done there is a patterned interview with the general manager. You have to get a certain number of points to pass the part.
