Interviewed Jun 2011 in Louisville, KY (took 1 week)
The manager who interviewed me was very easy going and welcoming. I was able to walk in, apply, and get an interview, all in the time-frame of about 30 minutes. I ended up not being hired because I was applying as seasonal help and they were mostly interested in more than temporary hires.

Interviewed Apr 2009 in Boca Raton, FL (took a day)
Application filled out and sat down and spent about 45 minutes speaking directly with the manager. He was very personable and interested. Very postive interview, gave me many opportunities to ask questions and also asked me questions to determine if I was the team player he was looking for. The training process was extensive, it would be atleast a month before I would begin to make money, and he upfront about that. I respected his care for the restaurant he managed and took his offer for a position with his team, very special and with much consideration.
Interview Questions
Reason for Declining
The time frame it would take before making an income. The restaurant also pooled their money. Not a perfect fit for ME. Many others would be LUCKY to work there.

Interviewed Aug 2009 (took 2 days)
I was asked to come in between monday-thursday between 2 and 4 pm to fill out an application and have an interview right away. I came in wearing nice slacks and a button down and after filling out an application was directed to sit down at a table to wait for a manager to interview me. I had the interview, was asked questions like "How much do you expect to earn per week?" and "Why do you want to work for J. Alexander's".
After the interview, I was told that I could come back again the following tuesday for a second interview with two additional managers.
At the second interview I was offered a position, and was told to come in for orientation on Thursday.

Interviewed Apr 2009 (took 4+ weeks)
I met the recruite at the career fair. We had a one on one interview, she set me up with a second interview at the restaurant in the same town. I went in for the second interview at the restaurant which wasnt really an interview it was more of a follow the manager around and see if it is something you want to do. Then i waited forever to hear back form the recruiter. When she finally called I was sent a bunch of personailty and comprehension tests in my email. After about a month I was offered the job.
