simple interview with a manager. Basic interview questions about experience and working in a team. Didn’t take too long. Heard back pretty quickly. they hire a l lot in the summer and need people to work days after kids go back to school.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Wind & Sea Restaurants (Dana Point, CA) in Jun 2010
Interview
The only way to get an interview here is to know someone who already works there. (After I was hired, I was instructed to tell anyone asking about applications that there weren't any positions open, even though they were actively hiring friends and family of employees). I basically had no official interview, being that my "in" person talked me up to the management. I just went in, sat in a small office, and was given the paperwork and handbook to fill out and return. They asked me my age and that was about it. Very simple. They seem to hire more based on looks than anything. There's always a pretty girl working at the hostess stand.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
There really weren't any, which was concerning. Not even a question about "what's your best quality?" or "what's your biggest flaw?", which are so common nowadays. You did have to take a quiz on the handbook to be able to start working.
