I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Din Tai Fung (Arcadia, CA) in Feb 2014
Interview
One time face-to-face interview. Came in dressed appropriately and noticed there were people who were dressing casual. Was interviewed by the manager. After the interview they immediately asked for my schedule and when I could come and work.
was easy, didn't have to do to much. You have to be competent, though, the job is very labor-intensive and requires a lot of multitasking. They are the biggest restaurant in NYC after all.
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Din Tai Fung (Vancouver, BC) in Mar 2025
Interview
The interview was located in a building in downtown. Everyone was given a time slot, so I did not have to wait long until it is my turn. The interview itself was quick and straightforward. It was really efficient. Interviewer was also really friendly.
you have to make a video audition which is awkward. also you MUST be clean-shaven to be considered. with a razor, not a trimmer. they laughed at me when i said i have never used a razor but will learn how
