I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Darden in Jun 2010
Interview
Sat down first with one of the assistant managers and was asked general personality questions and whether I get anxious in high stress situations. Once he cleared me I sat down with the GM and was asked "what if" scenario questions. These were not super complex and consisted of how I would handle an angry customer, what stressful situation have I dealt with in my life.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
What is an example of a stressful situation you have had to deal with and how did you deal with it?
I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Darden (Cutler Bay, FL)
Interview
My personal experience was positive. The first interview was with the direct manager. The second one was on the same day with the general manager. The process was very fast. The day after the interview we filled the paperwork and I started working the next day
3 step process. Online application. Interviewed by different managers. Asked a series of questions. Dress is considered. Be professional and polite. Be honest about availability also as that will come into play later.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell us about yourself
What would you do in x situation
The interviews are not too difficult. I would say that having the basic knowledge of service industry would greatly higher your chance of employment or scoring that second interview but it is not required.
