I applied in-person. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at The Cheesecake Factory (Jacksonville, FL) in Mar 2009
Interview
Walked in and filled out an application on a Monday or Tuesday (only days they accept apps). Had a screening interview about the hours available and whether or not I had experience. Was immediately interviewed by a Sr Mgr and asked a patterned interview with behavioral type questions.
I then was sent to a closed section where I took a personality test. After the test I was given an appointment to speak with the GM for a final interview a couple days later.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe a time where you were asked to take a leadership role
I interviewed at The Cheesecake Factory (Bridgewater, NJ)
Interview
Nice and easy, the process was simple and smooth, they asked about previous experience, and that's really it. If you are looking to work somewhere with higher checks, go here.
I interviewed at The Cheesecake Factory (Washington, DC)
Interview
Pretty straightforward, they ask about your experience and how you would deal with certain customers. They ask about problem solving skills and customer service scenarios. They ask what you want from the job and where you see yourself in 5 years.
Simple interview process. Go in person and answer some basic questions with floor manager and they'll let you know if you got the job or not pretty much right there. Pretty sure everyone will get in.
