I applied in-person. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Whataburger (Denton, TX) in Feb 2012
Interview
I made sure to dress up nicely with a tie and a button up shirt with nice slacks. The first day I walked in to ask if they were hiring and they told me they were and asked if I could come back Sunday for an interview(It was a thursday). I came back again in dress shirt, slacks and a tie and the assistant manager asked me some questions about leadership experience and stressed the fact that if I say i will work any time that may mean overnight because they are a 24 hour store. He asked me a few questions about what I would do in certain situations and why i was leaving my other job. He then asked me to come back on wednesday for a second interview. On Wednesday I interviewed with the general manager who gave me basically the same interview. He then told me he wanted to offer me a job and would call me to set up a time to come in and sign paperwork.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
If you were going to buy a new computer, how would you budget for that experience?
They'll schedule an interview with you and have you come in to the restaurant to talk with them. Mostly just asking about prior experience or why you are interested in the position.
Very easy very basic questions. Usually asks availability, if you have transportation, if you're in school or have another job to work around. Any specific days you need off. Nothing crazy
Did not get the job, was not old enough and so they could not legally have me on as a team leader, but otherwise I was qualfied and they were pretty friendly with me
