      Host Interview

      Mar 6, 2013
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Darden in Feb 2013

      Interview

      I interview with the manager after waiting 15 minutes for her to gather my paperwork. I talked to the host that was working, and we got along really well. I asked her some questions about her position and how she liked her job, hoping she would pass on a good word to management. Finally the manager came out to meet me, we sat in a booth. She went over my resume and asked me a few questions about my availability and my experience. I don't have restaurant experience but have always been interested in working with food. I complimented the restaurant, the food, etc and she seemed to appreciate that. I left feeling really good about my interview, and she reassured that she'd call within a week or so. Well, it's been almost 2 weeks so I'll put this interview down as a 'rejection,' which is really disappointing.

      I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Darden (San Antonio, TX) in Jun 2021

      Interview

      Just a one-on-one with the manager, super laid-back and pretty casual. Basic questions and concerns. Sometimes you’ll get two days for an interview, they’ll also ask if there are other job position that you would consider especially if the one you’re looking into is not high in demand.
