      Hostess Interview

      Apr 11, 2015
      Anonymous employee
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied in-person. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Applebee's

      Interview

      I applied in person after eating and turned it in to a manager who scheduled me for an interview a few days later. At that interview I got asked a few questions and filled out a personality test. At the end I was scheduled for a second interview with the general manager. The only bad thing was having to wait 50 minutes because they had something going on, but everyone was very nice, so it wasn't that big of a deal. At the end of the second Interview I was offered the job, and of course took it. Overall everyone was very nice to me and it wasn't a bad experience, during the interviews you just have to remember to be nice, smile, and be honest.

      Application

      I interviewed at Applebee's

      Interview

      The interview process was fairly straightforward and I felt that the interviewer did what they were supposed to but the focus seemed on like what corporate wants unfortunately. The experience was fine overall though.
