Interview
I applied in person and was called for an interview about 2 days later. The location I applied for was not the location that hired me but it was just on the other side of town.
Once at the interview they asked about availability and experience. Not much to it, I had zero experience (this is most people's first job so it shouldn't be an issue if you have none).. Just be on time, answer honestly, dress nicely, and act normally. You would honestly have to be extremely socially awkward or have an issue with availability not nail one of these interviews; its very casual, nothing difficult about it at all.
It was quick and easy asked about past experience and ability to learn other parts if necessary. Asked about availability and if I was able to work weekends. Only had to wait one day before a call back
Easy not complex. Direct and straight to the point. Had to provide information about school. Background. Future plans. Provided availability and then heard back relatively quickly. Enjoyed this interview overall
I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Sonic (Ardmore, AL) in Sep 2019
