Behavioral Technical Other
The interview process was really quick and smooth. I felt well taken care of. The managers were really professional. After I got the job, the onboarding was great. We got to sample all the food and drinks on the menu, and it felt super professional compared to other places I've worked. A few days of training and you're set.

Behavioral Presentation
I interviewed with Olive Garden for a serving job and they made me wait 45+ minutes past my appointment time. The interviewer was nice and said I was qualified and that they'd set up a second interview for the next Thursday. But then I got an email saying I didn't get the job, no reason given. I get that things change, but it was rude and unprofessional to waste my time and not communicate.

Behavioral Technical
It was a two to three round interview with the Serving Manager and the General Manager. You gotta be confident and outgoing. They asked a lot of questions about your experience in fine dining and how you handle a fast-paced setting, and if you are a team player, etc.
