It was pretty easy. They'll probably ask about your previous retail work and how good you are at talking to customers. I got hired right away and started working pretty quickly.

The interview process was relaxed and informal. There's a trial period required for hiring. The staff are really nice and make you feel welcome. No need to dress up formally. You should have customer service experience.

I interviewed over Zoom. The interview actually went fine, though the manager had to reschedule it a few times, which made me a bit nervous initially. The questions asked were pretty basic and to the point.

First I had a phone interview, then I went for an in-person conversation at the location. They really wanted to know about my experience in food and beverage because it's a BD cafes role and experience in that industry is essential.
