I applied in-person. I interviewed at Wowburger (Lucan) in Oct 2022
Interview
The Wowburger interview was quick and informal, focusing on teamwork, customer service, and handling busy situations. The interviewer was approachable, and the process was easy to understand. Be prepared to talk about your experience working in teams and dealing with customers.
The interview was quick, informal and casual, the manger who interviewed was very friendly, an offer received quickly after the interview. The questions weren’t difficult or challenging, it went by quickly
I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Wowburger (Dublin, Dublin) in June 2021
Interview
I had a very positive experience in my interview in regards to interacting with the team members. What I can tell you is that there were two parts to my interview.
The first part was just talking and listening to the assistant unit manager. I introduced myself, gave a bit of information of my previous work history and what skills I could bring to the team. We then discussed some things about Wowburger and Press Up Hospitality group.
The second part was more practical. I stepped into the kitchen and was shown how to make several products and eventually had the opportunity help a team member handle an order.
Although I have not been offered the anything yet. I would like to pass on some tips that may help potential candidates succeed or at least do better than I did.
Tip 1: Be genuinely interested. This came naturally to me because I love their products so I did everything I could to prepare before hand. I brought a copy of my CV to the interview, I did research on Wowburger's company history and philosophy, I did some research on their partner Press Up Hospitality group and I asked questions about the team and the workplace.
Tip 2: Show Initiative. This was something I wish I did better on. On the trial order I did only what I thought was asked of me. I wish I could've thought of more ways I could've actually helped complete the order but in the end I was told what's most important is just getting the order to the customer.
Tip 3: Ask a lot of questions and try to avoid asking stupid ones. I asked a lot of questions to genuinely try to understand how things worked in the kitchen but I also ended some stupid ones which I wish I could've avoided or worded better to get a better answer.
Overall, I had a great experience and I hope that you, the next candidate do too!
