The interviewer was nice and welcoming. I was interviewing for my first job as a minor and it was a good experience. They asked me about myself and my experience and why I wanted to work there. Just be honest, open minded, and willing to learn and they will work with you.

Behavioral

Had a quick Phone Screening, then went into a panel interview. They asked multiple questions at once, and the expectation is to answer using the Star method. You need to bring the energy since they didn't seem to have much, and it looked like a few people were distracted on Zoom doing other things. Make sure you understand the role and what they do beforehand to be ready for the questions.

Confirmed questions1 question
  • Can you share an instance where a manager disagreed with an employment decision or disciplinary action you took, and describe how you handled it?

I went to a job fair at the airport, and waited in line for 2 hours. Right when I was about to get interviewed, they told us all to put our contact information down because they ran out of time. They couldn't do any more interviews. They should have told us to leave like 30 minutes to an hour before so we didn't waste our time. They said they'd call us to schedule individual interviews, but I doubt they'll call all 50+ people individually. This company is incompetent and disorganized, and doesn't care about people, so I wouldn't work for them.
