I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Golden Corral (Cincinnati, OH) in Mar 2014
Interview
Very fast (s/b in all caps)!!! Worked with a 3rd party recruiter who was wonderful. She mainstreamed the entire process. The next day the DM called for a phone interview and a one on one interview was scheduled before I was off the phone with him. From initial conversation with recruiter until I signed on the dotted line was only 8 days.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The most difficult part of this job was the initial culture shock. The amount of food that people consume from a buffet with 1 flat price compared to a made to order meal is mind boggling. There is so much waste.
