      Hostess Interview

      27 Oct 2016
      Anonymous employee
      Niagara Falls, ON
      Accepted offer
      Neutral experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at IHOP (Niagara Falls, ON) in Aug 2016

      Interview

      Scheduled to meet the day that I called back to them at 1:00pm. I arrived on time. When I told the cashiers I was scheduled for an interview, they sat me in some isolated corner of the restaurant and told me to wait for the manager to come. I waited for almost twenty minutes until he arrived. Interview was simple. He basically just asked about what days I was available at. Hired me on the spot. Of course, this interview process is a bit concerning because it shows that they're not hiring the most qualified or deserving people; they're hiring whoever shows up on the interview first.

      Interview

      The interview process was straight forward. I went in, asked for an application, filled it out, spoke to the manager, and I got the job within a few days. One of the questions I asked was if they did direct deposit, and they don't, they give paper checks instead.
