I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Red Lobster (Bradenton, FL) in Sep 2015
Interview
I applied online on 8/19/15 and got an email saying they would like to meet me for an interview on 8/28/15. my interview was on 9/1/15 and since it was my first job the manager(who was very sweet) asked me a lot of scenario questions. she complemented me on my smile and my outfit and asked to come in for another interview with GM that Friday(9/4/15).
It was rather intuitive. They ask about your work experience and then proceed to ask about the hardest moments in your working portfolio and how you overcame it. Be steadfast and deliberate with your responses.
Very easy process the manager was really nice and very direct about the duties the job requires. I also really liked the environment. The GM also comes to interview you as well.
The manager asked basic questions about customer service experience. I was called to come in for an in person interview. I was asked about my restaurant experience but had none and was till offered job.
