Candidate interview experiences
First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Chartwells Higher Education Dining Services.
Chef
The interview process was quite straightforward. The questions were well-balanced and thoughtfully designed. The interviewer maintained a positive personal connection. I interviewed during a non-service period and observed a few employees whose demeanor appeared positive. The receptionist was expecting me and promptly directed me to a table where I waited briefly for the interviewer. Overall, it was a very relaxed interview. I've been invited back for a second interview and am writing this review now to gain access to Glassdoor as I research the company, to help me decide whether to accept or decline an offer if one is extended.
- Can you describe the most challenging crisis you've had to lead your team through?
Cook
I had an initial interview. I met the Executive Sous Chef, who was pretty chill at first. It got a little weird with some questions though, he clearly wasn't feeling a lot of my answers. I figured maybe he's not super experienced with interviews, so I let it slide. Then, after meeting the Executive Chef, I thought I'd be doing a cooking test next, like a second interview. But nope, they called a few days later and just offered me the job. Honestly, communication could've been a bit clearer, but it was okay overall.
- What kind of car would you be?
- How would you escape if you were this pen in this cup?
Cook
My first interview went well. I got glad-handed by the interviewer and was hired. She gave me the impression that she did not like her job, mainly because, as she said, they had previously hired too many students and "foreigners" before she took over the general management position. This was an odd thing for her to say seeing as she just moved here from South Africa herself.
- How long do you plan on living and working in south Florida?
