      I applied online. I interviewed at BJ's Restaurants

      Interview

      The process was very informal. My employer cared more about having a genuine conversation to get to know me and If I was familiar with basic food service concepts. Overall what he was looking for was a positive first impression to see If I would get along with the other co-workers and driven to do the job.

      Service Assistant Interview

      Oct 7, 2015
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Chino Hills, CA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at BJ's Restaurants (Chino Hills, CA) in Aug 2015

      Interview

      Arrived slightly before appointed interview time. Waited almost thirty minutes after the appointment time. When it was time for the interview I should have realized I was sent down river and that I wasn't going to get the job. Instead of being interviewed by a manager, I was interviewed by the head of the kitchen. As we sat at a table in the corner of the restaurant he fumbled through the papers that were probably printed out thirty seconds before he gathered me from waiting in the front. He asked me about my previous employment and what those jobs entailed. I told of recent ones and spoke of ones that were listed on my resume that I attached via their internet application process, but were not listed on their truncated list for their internet application that only allows users to put three previous places that they worked. When I spoke of the one that was on the resume and not their short list a momentary look of bewilderment flashed on his face and he shuffled through the papers again.With that reaction I can only guess that resume does not get seen by those doing the interview and it almost pointless to upload one. I recommend that you bring one to the interview, because they will only have the listing of the jobs you provided on their shortsighted internet application. After a few more questions about the other jobs that I had held he decided to be more straightforward and told me that I wasn't going to get the job and partly it had to do with not having a food handlers card, which seems more like a deflection because the law requires someone to get one within 30 days of being hired and it costs 10 to 20 dollars to take a class and tests to get a card. My advice is make sure you are interviewed by a manager, and bring a detailed resume to the interview.
