First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Hardee's.
Manager
It was pretty straightforward. They asked me about my skills, covering both management and technical aspects. They also wanted to know about how I handle conflict and my people skills. I was asked what drew me to the company and what I thought my future growth would be here.
- Tell me about your burger preferences and if you like them toasted.
Manager
The interview process was intense but also welcoming. The interviewers were a mix of hostile and accommodating, which kept me on my toes. There were moments when the interviewers argued with each other, and it became very personal. In fact, one of the managers quit mid-interview, which presented an immediate opportunity for advancement. Would I go through it again? No. Am I glad I did it and did it make me a better person? Yes and YES!
- What's your go-to burger?
- Given two trucks of fries traveling towards each other from Denver to Chicago and Chicago to Denver at different speeds, what's the temperature in Kansas City?
Manager
The District Manager called me about my resume and we scheduled an interview for the following week at the store. When I arrived, I was told to sit and wait for the DM. She then asked me to fill out an application, which she reviewed before asking me questions from a form. I answered, and she noted down a word or left it blank. Finally, she told me she wanted someone with 3 years of restaurant management experience, even though my resume said I was a supervisor previously.
- What's your strategy for dealing with an unhappy customer?
