Application

I applied in-person. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Red Lobster (Sherman, TX) in March 2011.

Interview

I was asked to describe random items on the menu to "sell it". Which was only difficult because it was a bunch of stuff I have never had.
After I began training on the job, they require you memorize a huge list of things you need to make a mini speech to your customers before you even take their order. (and the management is always right around the corner listening to everything you say/didn't say) Most customers would cut me off and not let me finish, and management would get onto me for not finishing.

Interview

Usually filling out an application online or in the restaurant suffices; call several days later to check on your application and to secure an interview. Dress well and show your willingness to work in a team-oriented environment. Show how well you can sell - chief items are drinks, appetizers, and desserts. Utilize your personality; show that you are approachable and can handle sudden or unexpected changes with mental and emotional flexibility.
