The process took around 30 days and felt like it had too many steps. The recruiter seemed to give different information each time we talked. There was one phone call, three interviews, and a 7-hour "follow shift" at the end. I was given a really unclear reason for not getting the job, which felt like a waste of my time.

Behavioral Technical
I talked to four managers over four different days. It felt a bit repetitive, but they were engaging interviews. The last one was with the General Manager, and after that, I got the job offer and started training. I also had to take four exams before I could begin.

You find the job opening through ads on Craigslist or Monster. After you reach out, you'll have a meeting with one of the General Managers for the MA locations. Then, you'll do a sit-down and an observation shift. After that, there's one last meeting with the CEO. The questions are pretty straightforward; if you have restaurant experience, you'll do well. Make sure to do a little research on Border before you apply.
