Labatt Food Service Interview Questions
& Process

They went over my resume and asked about most of the things on it. They also asked why I thought I'd be a good fit and why I picked this career path. I got to ask them some questions about the role too.

We had a three part interview process. First, I spoke with the hiring recruiter to go over my resume. Then, I met with the department manager for another resume review and to answer some technical questions. Finally, there was an on-site interview where I got a tour and met the team.

I applied online to Labatt and got a response in about 3 days to set up a video interview. The person interviewing me was a Business Analyst and asked me general questions about my resume and specific questions about my math research and coding experience. About a week after that first interview, I had a second video interview with the Director of Sales. This interview was mostly about my questions for the company (about 60-70%), and the questions they asked me were about my resume, and didn't seem related to our previous conversation. They mentioned I'd hear back in about a week about a final onsite interview. After a little over a week with no word, I emailed them but never got a response. Then, a bit over a month later, I got an email saying they decided to go with other candidates.

I sent in my application online and got a call back really quickly. The first interview was with someone who only asked HR-related questions and wasn't even in software development. This person had a really hard time listening to me. For example, after I mentioned making the Dean's list, they immediately asked if I had received any academic awards like the 'Dean's List.' When I repeated myself and mentioned another award for my major GPA and hours, they asked how students voted for my award, even though it wasn't a vote. I had to explain it was based on grades, and I had to repeat myself a lot because they weren't listening, making assumptions, and even arguing with me. Another instance was when they asked why I didn't want to move into a software developer role at my last job, insisting they had software developers there, even though I explained they'd outsourced everything and there were no such positions. Then they asked for a good reason to leave an employer. I gave a general answer but emphasized that I'm loyal and prefer to stay with a company long-term. They sent me a rejection, which doesn't make sense given my background: top of my class, perfect attendance and punctuality, excellent performance, great work ethic, and long job history. The only reason I wasn't a 'fit' seems to be the flawed interview process itself, as I wasn't asked any technical questions or skill assessments. It seems they prefer software developers who are approved by an HR interviewer with a Communications degree, which makes me wonder about their own listening skills.
