Interviewed Aug 2009 (took 5 days)

Sent in an application. The Human Resources was very quick to respond. The Interview asked about some of my experience but mainly focused on my schedule. They seemed more concerned with me showing to work than finding out if I was actually a solid employee. I had been at much harder interviews before so I was completely prepared. They also asked a few questions where you have to pick the best response.

Interview Questions

This is not exactly how it was phrased but you get the idea: How would you handle a situation where one of your fellow team members received a promotion that you had been trying for and you feel they did not deserve?

Answer Question

Negotiation Details

Nothing. Pretty strait forward.

Other Details

The interview consisted of a 1:1 Interview, a Personality Test, a Drug Test and a Background Check.

Interviewed Jun 2009 (took a day)

i applied online and got a call at my house about a week later to schedule an interview. well i wasn't home when the call came in and a message was left for me to call carol(not real name) at human resourse. i got home about two hours after the call and decided to call back right away since it was basically still early in the day. i placed the call and was told that carol had gone to lunch and could i please leave my name and number and she will return my call as soon as she gets back. there was no call from carol three hours later and i'm thinking there is no way lunch could be that long!! so i call back and i was told carol had left for the day!!! i couldn't believe it. but you know this was just a prelude of what was to be a one week run around i have ever seen!! for one week after the initial call, everytime i called, carol hadn't come in yet, carol was at lunch, it was carol's day off, or carol was in a meeting, it was one excuse after after another. i even went to the store to talk to carol in person or another human resourse personel, but i was again told that carol wasn't in that day and guess what, she was the only one i could talk to about the interview. imagine my fustration!! i had all but given up on the whole thing when i finally got a call asking me to come in for an interview on a scheduled date.
on the day of the interview, i had to take a personality test. after which i was then invited to the human resourse office for the interview. the interview was two seperate interviews with different interviewers. the first interview was about ten questions like ' why did you apply here?" , "why should we hire you for this job?", " when was the last time you work on a team and what was your role?", " tell me about the time you went out of your way to help someone?".. just basic stuff like that. once done with the first interview, i was told to wait in the room and someone else would be with me shortly. let's say it was about thirty minutes later before the next interviewer came in. another set of ten or so questions were ask like" tell me about a major change in your life and did you like this change or not, if not why and what did you do about it?"." tell me about a time you had to deal with a difficult co-worker and how did you handle it?", " what do you think this store expectation should be of their employee?" and now the question that totally got me stumped!!!!" if you are hire what are your expectations of this your employer?" my mind literally went blank and i think i must have stumble around for an answer for about a minute before saying somthing reasonable inttelligent!!!! i couldn't wait to high tail it out of there. i got the standard " we sare still interviewing people so we will give you a call next week whether or not you are hire". it has been three weeks since then and guess what, i haven't had any calls yet. i did call two weeks after the interiview and was told the same "we are still interviewing but we will give you a call". i mean seriously!! how long does it take to interview and hire someone for a food service team member job?!!!!!! well carol if you are out there, i'm still waiting for that call!!

Interviewed Sep 2008 (took a day)

I went to a job fair filled out an application and took a personality test. When I was done I turned in the test and application along with a resume I had brought with me. I didn't hear from them till 2 weeks later with an interview date. I arrived at the interview 10 minutes early and I waited till they called my name. Then I was interviewed by three different people. If you got past the first person, then you got sent to another room to be interviewed again. After the interviews I was asked to wait and about half an hour later they let me know I got the job.
