Interview

So I got there and it seemed to be an open application day for them in the shop although I did apply or inquire about applying through emailing them and applying online. Once I got there I was given an application and after I completed that I had the first interview with the District Manager Philip. He was really nice and easy to talk to after I got over my own nerves. Was interviewing for a cook position and se he picked my brain about what I knew in the kitchen about different French foods and styles and why I wanted to be in the kitchen. After that I was told to wait because I did well in that process and was greeted to the General Manager, of that place, Jack. Jack was just as nice and pleasant and was easy to talk to. He went over some similar questions but what they really look for is if your personality fits in with the company and the stores team. Overall it was a great experience, even though I was a bit nervous in the beginning, they were really pleasant to talk to.
