The interview process was easy. I met with the manager, and she asked me about myself, my availability, if I had reliable transportation, and if I was okay with doing some of the tasks required on site.

It was a simple behavioral interview where they assessed my potential future performance by looking into my past behavior in specific situations. They didn't ask hypothetical questions, but rather about real experiences.

Behavioral Case

I responded to an ad for a seasonal job and got a reply pretty fast, like less than a day later. The interview was set for two days after that. They got back to me about a day after the interview to say they'd already hired someone. It was a good experience though. The manager was super nice about everything and just seemed like a genuinely good person. I was a bit nervous at first, but we started chatting and I felt more relaxed. The questions were pretty standard. He asked for five things I'd change about myself, instead of weaknesses. Since I didn't have professional baking experience, he asked if I baked at home. About half the questions were about hypothetical scenarios, like how to handle a mad customer, or what to do if ingredients were expired or nearing expiration. Definitely practice those kinds of answers beforehand.

Confirmed questions6 questions
  • What would you do if a child was fifty cents short for a Cinnabon after emptying their pockets of change?
  • What would you do about a kid who's short fifty cents for a Cinnabon?
  • What do you do when a kid doesn't have enough change for a Cinnabon?
