Had a Zoom interview with HR. They asked about the role and my wine experience. It was engaging, and they asked how to make customers feel special and what to do if customers didn't like the wine poured. Pay expectations weren't discussed, which led to a low offer.

I applied directly on the company website and then interviewed with HR via Teams video call. The interview was scheduled for 30 minutes but only lasted 15 minutes, it was very short. The HR recruiter seemed unengaged and was multitasking during the interview.

It started with a job fair, then I had an in-person interview. They asked general questions about my enjoyment of wine and my ability to perform under pressure. Two women interviewed me. A lot of people were waiting for interviews, and we all sat at a long table until it was our turn. This happened right before concert season started, and they hired many of us then.

Ste. Michelle frequently hires Guest Services staff, so they often bring in people without prior wine knowledge, as long as they have strong people skills and a commitment to great customer service. If you're good with people, friendly, and can share engaging stories (about wine, for instance), you'll likely get hired, especially for seasonal roles before the summer concert season.

Confirmed questions1 question
  • Can you share an instance where you handled a challenging customer or addressed a complaint about a negative experience?
