Red Lobster Interview Questions & Reviews

Interview Details The interview went great. When you first go in, reach your hand first to give them a firm handshake and introduce yourself. My interviewers literally said "wow!" when I did that, I guess they didn't expect it! Maintain eye contact, do not twiddle your thumbs or say "like" when answering the questions they ask. I had them both laughing when we first sat down. First impressions are DEFINITELY the key!! Questions were fairly easy. . I got hired on my first interview, which apparently is rare. My friend works there and said they loved me. Don't tell them what you think they want to hear, tell them how you would take care of a guest who is yelling and complaining, and many more scenarios. The truth goes so much farther than you'd think. Good luck to future applicants!!!

Negotiation Details – Both interviewers asked why I was leaving my now previous employer. I just told them I have responsibilities to pay for that my previous employer couldn't help me with and they both said "I've been there done that. Don't worry, we're going to help you as much as we can."

Interview Details I filled out an online application, got an email about a week later telling me to call in and schedule an interview. I had an interview with one of the mangers. The interview was pretty short, he asked me questions about my availability and past job employment. Nothing too hard.

Interview Details The interview process is a multi-staged professional interview. It is rigorous, and I have seen many people turned away. Recently, they have stopped accepting paper applications. This is a serious pitfall because the qualities required to be a successful server are not accurately represented thoroughly without face to face interaction.

Interview Details They are very friendly and professional,offered drinks and food during the application process, I had to take a math test which told me they were very thorough about the employees being able to handle money, I left after the application and math test. I was then called for my first interview with the assistant manager they asked questions regarding my past experience and how to handle some customer situations that can arise the assistant manager then got up and got the general manager for the final interview which was similar questioning just different scenarios. We shook hands then I was told to come back the nex day to start orientation and training.

Negotiation Details – It was a smooth phase the pay was fair and benefits were good as well.

Interview Details filled out application and was able to talk to a manager right away. then talk to the GM and was hired on the spot

Negotiation Details – why do you leave your last job?

Interview Details Two part interview, very relaxed meet wit two managers. They asked pretty straight forward questions that tried to gauge what type of employee you would be.

Interview Details Pretty simple interview. You talk to an assistant manager first and then speak with the gm who will either ok you or no.

Negotiation Details – They're wasn't negotiating.

Interview Details Applied online, got a phone call two days later. Came in for an interview...the first manager who interviewed me was very nice, asked me a few questions. Came in the next day for an interview with the General Manager. Before our interview, he was asking when I could come into orientation! The interview with him went very well, I got the job, set up orientation.

Negotiation Details – None

Interview Details Applied online, and within 6-8 hours got an email asking to come in for an interview. Five minutes after that I got a phone call from the hiring manager, asking to come in the next day (wednesday) for a first interview with her. The interview was pretty basic, typical server position questions, such as, conflict resolution, team worker attitude, communication with management and what not. I seem to have nailed it because she got another manager to come in and give me my second interview on the spot. He was a bit more straightforward but I appreciated the no BS attitude. He spoke salary, and that I would be a servers assistant for a month or so... then after management consideration I could start on the floor. My first day was today, and it is a great job all in all.
