I applied in-person. I interviewed at Cinemark (Walnut Creek, CA) in Jun 2011
Interview
I was advised by my friend and Cinemark supervisor to ignore the online application (supposedly they don't look at them) and drop off a paper application. I was contacted in about a week, scheduled the only interview another week off, and scheduled to work two weeks after the interview. The interview was in the concessions lobby at a cafe table with the senior manager.
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Cinemark (Hayward, CA) in Nov 2025
Interview
Very quick and unprofessional, it was processed in the middle of the theatre, no room... Also, the manager seemed unprofessional. Once I got up to leave, when I was about to shake her hand, she just left.
