The process was pretty straightforward and simple to get through. It started with a phone chat and then moved to an in-person meeting at the store. Everyone there was really friendly and made sure I felt comfortable during the interview.

It was a group interview, where each candidate got around 2 minutes to speak. The questions were about our experience and personal stuff, like what we do when we're not working. It was pretty basic, mostly to see if we knew what we were doing and if we could work during the Christmas season.

Behavioral Technical

I had a phone call interview to talk about what I know about the brand. Then, there were two 1:1 interviews with the MW and WW Concession Managers where they asked background and skills questions. Finally, I had a 1:1 with the General Manager who asked questions about my personality to make sure I'd fit in with the team.
