I passed the initial HR check and then had a phone interview for a database internship that would take several hundred hours. The interviewer was really nice and asked some good questions, and I thought it was going well. But then, someone more senior, who should have been involved earlier, came in and started arguing with my interviewer. She then turned her attention to me and started grilling me about things that weren't really related to the internship, specifically about a paper I'd written a few years back that I'd mentioned briefly. I didn't get the job, which was okay since I wasn't guaranteed it anyway, but it was kind of embarrassing for me and I bet for the main interviewer too.

I first talked to 2 managers, then the director. All of them impressed me, making me more interested in working with their team. After getting the initial hire, managers and team leads kept testing my server knowledge and how well I worked with others. As time went on, they asked me if I was interested in a promotion from Server to Assistant Manager. The interviews for that role were more like coaching and negotiating a good fit for the role and the restaurant's needs.

I met with the office manager. We talked about the job duties, what they expect, and general info about Mount Vernon, the team, and how the operations department operates. The whole thing took about two to three hours. The interview process spanned about a week, with email communication and some questions to get ready for the in-person interview. Everyone I met was super friendly and welcoming, and the vibe was casual and comfortable. It was a really good experience since it's been a while since my last interview. They helped me relax and get back into interview mode. I didn't get an offer, which was fine; it was still a positive experience, and I learned a lot about Mount Vernon.

I interviewed with the Director of Public Relations and the VP of Marketing. The interview was about an hour long. Mostly they asked me questions about my resume and my experience. They asked a few questions that seemed directly related to the job, with a big focus on social media managing. It's been two weeks since my interview, and it took them two weeks after initial contact to schedule the interview.
