I applied in-person. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Applebee's (Mays Landing, NJ)
Interview
I handed in my application a day before their hiring fair. I knew that they had received a lot of applications so I called about a week later to check on my application. He had no idea anything about my application and told me to come in the next day for an interview. I went in the next day and the company had lost my application. So I then had to fill out another application and he started asking me question that had nothing to do with the job and told me that he'd set up a second interview up with his general manager tonight by 4. He did not call for 3 days so I returned the call and he said they wouldn't make any decisions for a week.
I applied in-person. I interviewed at Applebee's (Rockland, ME)
Interview
The interview process was informal and substantive. The interviewer had years of experience at the Company, and drew upon that to discuss the various aspects of the position, the compensation range that a successful hire could expect, and to formulate questions for me that were tailored to my own situation.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Most of the questions related to my prior employment, why I was interested in the position, and the expectations of the position I was applying for. The questions were not intended to derive yes or no answers, and the entire session was more a conversation opener intended to get to know me better.
