I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at IHOP (Cutler Bay, FL)
Interview
You wait about 30min to 3hrs for your interview. I’m not procrastinating! You will think they forgot about you and start to wonder “do I get paid for sitting here?”. It will either be scheduled while it’s super busy or while no one is there. In which case you will wonder “why did they schedule my interview at this time?” Or “what the hell are they doing back in the office? No one is here right now!”. Just be preferred... and just leave if it takes more than an hour... no one should make you wait more than an hour baby! Know your worth!!!
Easy interview, assuming this wouldn’t be your first job interview. Overall, if you are prepared to answer question regarding situations and how you’d handle them, you’ll be fine. Be yourself and show your personality.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How would I handle a situation with an angry or unsatisfied customer
Literally just started signing papers, no interview. Managers name was Dante. He was a cool guy. I knew Dante was going places. He is a funny dude and great manager but he’s prob not working there anymore
This was a very basic and easy interview. All you need to do is to look presentable and make sure to utilize the STAR method. If you do this, you should be good to go.
