First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at LongHorn Steakhouse.
Server
The interview was easy and covered general questions about my previous experience. They also asked scenario questions about how I would handle certain situations. It was a straightforward interview. Make sure to highlight your multitasking skills and ability to perform well under pressure.
- What would you do if a customer was upset?
- Tell me about your previous work experiences.
- How would you deal with different scenarios that might arise?
Bartender/Server
I saw a notification that Longhorn Steakhouse in Chattanooga was hiring bartenders. I got called in for an interview, and before the manager started, he told me, 'we don't really hire bartenders right away, they have to start as servers.' It was very misleading since the company said they were looking for bartenders. These chain restaurants shouldn't waste people's time. They don't cover my gas or my time. Also, the hostess had me sit at a table with other customers while the manager interviewed me. He wasn't speaking clearly or loudly, and I couldn't hear him well over the loud music and the noise from other customers. It was really unprofessional.
- Can you share an instance where you exceeded expectations for a customer?
Hostess
I applied online and set up the interview for the next day. About ten minutes after I got there, the hiring manager came to meet me. After the interview, I was told I'd hear back the following Monday.
- Can you tell me a little about yourself?
- What's your previous work experience?
- Do you have any questions for me?
Project Manager
It was easy and friendly, very understanding. I think that if you prepare and follow the most common questions that interviews ask, you will do just fine. I would say to do your research, do not be nervous, and always approach the interview process as if it was a simple conversation with another individual. The worst thing you can do is come to an interview nervous and not make a good impression.
- Can you tell me about yourself?
- What do you consider your greatest weakness?
- What are your motivations for wanting to work at this company?
