      Driver Interview

      25 May 2015
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Salt Lake City, UT
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Lyft (Salt Lake City, UT) in Jun 2014

      Interview

      I had a phone interview, another phone interview, and a driving interview. The phone interviews were cake, and the driving interview was a little awkward. I invited my husband, because I felt like the mentor seemed a little creepy. It ended up being fine, but the process I found out later wasn't the "kosher" way of doing the driving interview. It seemed very rushed, and after I found out how the mentoring program worked (veteran mentors steal all the new drivers) it made more sense and made me a little sad for the new mentors. The driving test felt like a driving test at the DMV, but I really shouldn't have been worried. They don't really care if you are perfect, they just care if you can drive well, keep a conversation going, and pay attention to road signs and the road. I got the green light a few days later, and was driving right away. I wish I had more training, or any training really. The mentor teaches you how to use the app, and how to use a GPS system with the app, but nothing about emergencies that occur in your car, and how to deal with them. My first ride I have was for six teenagers who did coke in my backseat. Rule #1, don't let more people in your car than you have seat belts for, rule #2, your passenger must be over 18, and rule #3, no drugs or drinking in the car. All of these were broken all the time, but I only learned what the rules were through the Facebook group, and I learned how to be stern and sweet on my own. It was really awkward, and I felt totally alone. It would have been nice to have a little help from Lyft on what to say, and how to report them. I think the system might be better now, but I stopped driving for them. The laws in Utah weren't forgiving to Lyft drivers, but now that's all changed.
