I applied in-person. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Applebee's (Lodi, CA) in Apr 2013
Interview
I was super lucky. I walked in with a resume and asked to talk to a manager and right away I was given an interview on spot. They told me to come back after two days to meet with another manager and he liked me and hired me that same moment.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Questions were basic. Main question was why do you want to work in the food industry?
This was a pretty easy interview process. I was asked if I had ever dealt with difficult people and to say what was my motivation for wanting to work at Applebees. It was overall very chill and I enjoyed it.
Was a simple interview and was offered a job afterwards. The manager was kind. It was easy to apply and find an interview time. I was trained shortly after and got paid for the training.
The interview process was fairly straightforward and I felt that the interviewer did what they were supposed to but the focus seemed on like what corporate wants unfortunately. The experience was fine overall though.
