You'll do a quick intro of yourself, and then the hiring manager will explain the role you applied for. They'll wrap up by asking if you have any questions for them. The whole thing should take about 15 to 30 minutes.

The Haidilao interview is pretty straightforward, mostly asking about your background, when you can work, and your general attitude. Just be yourself, smile, and answer truthfully. It's not a high-pressure situation; they're more interested in your energy levels than your specific skills.

When you get here and say you are here for the job interview they will ask you what position and give you two pages to fill out at a table. These pages normally ask for things from your resume, like your past jobs and how much school youve completed. They ask for three professional references, and I don't know if you need to fill all three out. The person interviewing you will then chat with you briefly and ask if you have any questions. After that, the interview is over, and you will find out by text if you got the job.

The interviewer was nice and helped me understand that the restaurant's culture might be faster-paced than I'm used to. Before asking questions, I had to fill out an application. They mentioned that all employees learn every job in the restaurant and work their way up. You start as a busser, and how quickly you learn determines your advancement. This seems like a place where you start at the bottom and work your way up.
