The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf General Manager Interview

Posted Apr 8, 2011

Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Jan 2010 – Reviewed Apr 8, 2011

Interview Details – Surprisingly unprofessional. I was kept waiting - and have heard of candidates ignored or kept waiting for half-a-day beyond the appointment time.

No traditional HR warmth can be found here. Questions were standard derivative from the HR manual. Competency and work history was questioned. No answer was believable enough to not require deep reference checks, background checks, and addressing two or five month resume spaces - the time when most people surprised with lay-off notices use to find their next job. Don't misspelling or truncate the name of a workplace!

Interview Question – Did you really work at XXX, provide the month and year?   Answer Question

Negotiation Details – HR looks for a bargain so beware that this is not a long-term assignment for anyone but "friend's of"
