I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Outback Steakhouse (Los Angeles, CA) in Jan 2010
Interview
Extensive training; Assessment tests; Lots of "this is a very demanding job" jargon. The proprietor/manager was pretty blunt, but fair. You are assigned groups for training. You get to taste almost every dish in order to "suggest" said dishes to customers.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Same old interview questions. Inflate your personal qualities and you're a shoe-in.
Two round interview. Easy process. Overall great experience. The environment is nice. Salar is good compared to to other restaurants. Manager was welcoming. Nothing bad to say. It was close to my house so happy I got the job
I applied in-person. I interviewed at Outback Steakhouse
Interview
Simple and easy interview process. I feel that i was asked the standard server questions. Please be sure to bring your updated resume. The asked about my availability and my experience in the industry. Some behavioral questions were asked of me as well.
Waste of time.
Everything is automated through AI and the system will mess up scheduling and then when we finally get an interview, they already have people hired. Was told I would receive an answer either way from AI and had to call the store to get my decline.
