Taco Bell Team Member Interview Questions & Reviews

Interview Details – I applied online and received a call a couple weeks later telling me I had an interview tomorrow. I arrived about 10 minutes early. The manager came over and interviewed me at one of the tables. He asked me some simple questions about my experience, my availability, how I would get there, what tasks I'd be willing to do, how friendly I am, etc. He then brought over a written application which I filled out and returned to him. He told me to get some non-slip shoes and call him in a few days to see when I could start.

Interview Details – I had 3 separate interviews because the manager was always so busy so I had to interview with the assistant manager first. The interview was easy. Just a few scenario case questions and that was pretty much it. I came back for orientation about 2 weeks later and then just had to wait for my uniforms to come in which took a little longer than expected due to bad weather.

Interview Details – I walked in and asked for an application. I filled out the application at home and turned it in the next day( Saturday ). Asked for the manager shook hands. He asked me a few questions like if i was 18 and i told him yes, and my transportation, asked about my prior work experience, and other questions like that. The hiring manager told me that he was going to call me in a week but if he didn't he said to call him. He never called me so in a week i called him. He told me to come in for an interview on Wednesday at 11 am. I went and he wasn't there. i waited for over an hour. There was 2 other people waiting for their interviews as well. He came and talked to the first two guys who were dressed really casual. I am a female and i wore a skirt with tights and a nice button down blouse. One of the guys got hired on the spot. I was sitting there waiting for my turn. He came up to me and i shook his hand and we sat down. He didn't ask the usual interview questions. He asked questions like transportation, hours i can work, days i can work, what i did at my last job. He told me a lot about the restaurant and what they need. He mentioned about the franchise company and i was like oh you mean YUM? and he was impressed and asked me what else i knew about the company i told him that the founder of taco bell is glen bell, taco bells key to success is C.H.A.M.P.S. i told him exactly what it stood for: Cleanliness, hospitality, accuracy, maintenance, product quality, and speed of service. He was so impressed that i " did my hw" he even gave me a high five several times! he asked me if i had any Q's and i asked him how he likes working there and how did he get to where hes at. He then said he was going to give me a call to make an offer, but then changed his mind and said he was going to be busy later and offered me the job, i said yes. he asked me for my pants size and shirt size. in one week i go in for my uniform and the next day i start training. i told him that i read the taco bell handbook and Googled everything. He shook my hand and now i am hired (:

Interview Details – Smile and laugh. Explain why you enjoy Taco Bell.

Interview Details – First they tell you to come early but make you wait a long time to get interview. They ask you if you want something to drink right when you get in. Then when th, and they start to interview you they ask a couple of questions. General questions about your experience, availability, and your goals. They also want to know what you hope to gain from working there. There next step is to call you for a second interview which means you were hired.

Interview Details – Went for my first interview at 11 am and was 15 minutes early. The assistant manager who was interviewing me asked me if I wanted something to drink and I said no thank you. We sat at a table in the restaurant near the corner, we were the only ones in the place. she asked me a couple of really easy questions, what hours can you work? your age? where do you live? things like that. then she told me to come back for a second interview with her boss the manager the following Monday. Now I don't know when fast food places started to do second interviews but I went anyways.

I went back on Monday and was 15 minutes early again. The manager had me wait for a half an hour. When we sat down I noticed at the table next to us was another women just watching us, she turned out to be there for her second interview to, how rude! But the manager started to ask me questions and I felt nervous but I answered the best I could. The whole time we were talking she was acting very rude. She was rolling her eyes and staring down at a paper. I though it was very inappropriate. When we were done she said that they had a lot more candidates to interview and there was only two positions open so they had to chose who to hire. then she told me that there would be a third interview with her boss and they would be calling the people that they thought would fit the position to interview with the managers boss.

Now I knew by this that I did not get the job because the assistant manager that I interviewed with before said that they just opened two new taco bells in my area and the interviews were to fill the positions in those places. Now doesn't it take more then 2 people to run 2 fast food places? Also why would there be a third interview with the managers boss for a team member position? A fast food job and they are treating it like they are choosing the president. I don't get it though, I was early, dressed in nice business type clothes and was nice and respectful, but all I got from the manager was rudeness. If I don't get a call back then I am going to be really pissed for them wasting my time.

Interview Details – They call you in for an interview. When you arrive they seat you down in the restaurant at a table away from the crowd as best as possible. Ask about your previous work history. Your schedule with school, other job etc ( nothing personal just what you want/need to share).
Then you both sit there filling out paper work and the GM helps if you have questions. Then you call their Main HQ and confirm it all with those guys over the phone. If you already showed up with black shirt, cargo, non slip shoes you might be in luck and start that day. They provide the first uniform shirt, hat, name tag free of charge.

Negotiation Details – Things to mention:
Scheduling: Days you need off or shifts you need off for school, work, etc.

Interview Details – One interview with the manager. Simple questions about how I would handle customer service.

Negotiation Details – There was no negotiation, it was take it or leave it.
