i went to an open call and spoke with two general managers from different locations. they asked me about my experience and my knowledge of wine and sake. the conversation was pretty relaxed, and i asked them about the uniform and what shifts they needed to fill.

I applied on 10/05/2024. I got a text from a bot asking about my experience and availability. I was set for an interview on 10/10/2024 at 5:15 PM. I got there early around 4:30 and waited to go in around 5. When I got there, the manager said the restaurant was closed for an event and no one could interview me. He gave me a card and told me to email reservations to set up a time with a hiring manager. He said I should've gotten a cancellation message. Apparently, they texted me at 4:45 PM cancelling the interview. It was really upsetting and unprofessional to cancel 30 minutes before when they had a week to let me know.

Behavioral Technical

I saw the Server job on Craigslist and HR got back to me right away, same day. The interview covered food and drink knowledge, how to provide fine dining service, POS software use, and managing multiple tasks. They called me back the same day with a job offer, which I know is pretty fast, normally it can take weeks. I had to take a drug test before I could officially start.
