I applied in-person. I interviewed at Applebee's (Newark, DE) in Mar 2015
Interview
There wasn't a actual interview at all. The whole process was very easy. I must have been lucky. I walked in and asked for a manager. Luckily no one was in the restaurant and the General manager was available. He asked me about myself, my prior cooking experience in a restaurant (which was zero) and ambitious in life and what I think Applebees could do to help. I was offered on the spot, not everyone's experience will be like mine
I had to dress professionally and they asked me about school, life goals and trajectory. Was really good , the interviewer was rlly nice. The kitchen is also really clean compared to other places ive worked.
i mean they just asked if i had any cooking experience but i got a better job elsewhere so that's why i didn't take it. it wouldn't be a bad job though
