It was tough and hard to get the crab thing. When I'd answer questions, he'd ask me how much money I wanted. He walked around and it sounded like change jingling in his pocket.

They asked about my experience, my tolerance for giggles and boundless enthusiasm, if I am good with teamwork, how would I get along with a particularly grumpy coworker, and what I would do if I saw a competitor trying to steal our recipe. The usual stuff.

Technical Coding Presentation
I recently interviewed for a fry cook position at the Krusty Krab. Mr. Krabs really put me through the wringer, and Squidward seemed completely uninterested. The kitchen was total chaos, but when I flipped the test patty, SpongeBob was impressed. I'm hoping I did well, though I might have overdone the seasoning. It felt like a mix of greasy work and chasing dreams.
