Texas De Brazil Interview Questions
& Process

You'll talk with the manager, and they'll want to know about your past work experience and your schedule. Since it's a restaurant, they really care about your weekend availability. If you seem presentable and can work most of the time, you'll probably get the job.

I applied in person, and about a week later, the general manager called to set up an interview for the next day. Since Texas de Brazil is a bit upscale, I dressed nicely and put on makeup. The interview with the general manager was really quick, probably five minutes or less.

I saw the job posting on Craigslist and came in for my interview. I had to fill out an application and take a written test about spirits knowledge, which included naming different types of scotches, wines, cordials, and gins. After handing in the application and test, a manager interviewed me briefly on the spot, asking about my experience and if I could push wine sales, as that was an area needing improvement. Then, I was given a script called "The Brazilian Story" to memorize and present the next day as if I were greeting a table. I did this presentation, and after it was over, they gave me a uniform and told me to start the next day. I decided not to accept the offer because the required robotic memorization and the highly structured environment suggested by the application made me feel it wouldn't be a good fit, especially since there was very little actual interaction during the interviews.

I arrived and asked to see the manager. They had me complete an application and then interviewed me right then and there, before their dinner service started. It took a bit for them to let me in.
