Interview
Show up. Discuss availability and job preference. Be willing to work Sundays and holidays. Congrats! You got the job. There is nothing more required. Very lenient hiring process. This is then followed by 1-3 days of training before working at the position assigned to you.

Question 1
Can you work on Sundays and holidays? The food industry does not close on these days. It is unreasonable for employees to expect to take those days off. Someone has to work on those days.
