I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Red Lobster (Toronto, ON) in July 2024
Interview
Usual questions relating to experience, how many hours am I looking for, if I have any other jobs so they can plan shifts etc. Very straightforward and pre-planned questions, not very personal.
Normal questions, manager was fine, lacked empathy, but seemed pleasant enough. Booth was pretty worn that I sat in. Questions seemed standard, however the interview felt rushed as if they had another person already that they had in mind.

Question 1
Give an example when you gave great customer service
The interview was very quick, and I was hired on the spot. I was interviewed by the floor manager and the general manager on the same day. It was laid back.

I applied in-person. I interviewed at Red Lobster (Newark, NJ) in Nov 2024

Asked how long I have been a server and asked me about myself and why I enjoy working in the hospitality industry. Then did a walk through of the whole restaurant and introduced me to some of the other servers.
