After applying online, I got emails every couple of weeks about interview opportunities and a time to come in. There were about 3 or 4 stages. The first two interviewers asked basic questions, and the third interview was with two high-level security guys who asked more in-depth questions about my experience. It's a really good job with good pay, so it's tough to get without experience. After all three interview stages, there was also a drug test.

The H.R. department called me and scheduled me for an interview the very next day. When I went in, I was expecting a short interview but ended up going through three interviews that day, which took over 3 hours. It was a bit annoying having to wait for each person to come down to meet me. However, it was worth it because they offered me the job on the spot after I finished my paperwork, instead of making me wait until my first day at the restaurant I was selected for. It was a long process, but I'm glad it was all done at once instead of having to come in three separate times.

Hr called me to set up an interview, I went in the next day and met with a recruiter. After that, I met the restaurant manager about 20 minutes later for a 45 min interview. Then I had to wait about 45 min for the vp, but couldn't see them. I came back the next day and saw the vp in the morning. They offered me the position and I accepted.

Gaylord Entertainment requires 2 interviews for the Wildhorse Saloon, one at HR headquarters near the Opryland Hotel and one at the Wildhorse Saloon itself. They try to schedule both on the same day, one right after the other, so you will have two interviews back-to-back.
