Candidate-reported interview process

The interview process was thorough yet straightforward. The interviewer's cadence was reminiscent of a cult leader, giving the impression they were a bit unhinged. The interview location was two blocks from the Philadelphia Zoo, so there was a distinct smell in the air. This part had nothing to do with the interview itself.

I applied online and then got a text with general questions. After I answered those, I picked a date and time for an interview. I met with the manager and answered questions about my past work experience and my interest in working at Applebee's. Then, I had another interview with a different manager who explained the job and pay, and also asked general questions.

they hired me on the spot because of my experience. I had previously served at chilis, trader joes, walmart, home depot, lowes, and autozone. this helped me get the job because i was prepared
