Dairy Queen Interview Questions & Reviews

Interview Details New store, was a franchise type ordeal. The training process was really long. Trained for about 3 weeks. The GM is pretty cool guy. Very laid back interview process. Not that many hard questions.

Negotiation Details – Minimum wage was the standard.

Interview Details Basically, my friend (who works at Dairy Queen) told me they were hiring so I went in, filled out an app, and gave my name to the manager. About two weeks later I got a call for an interview. I came in after school on Monday and met one-on-one with the manager. She went over all the basic rules: dress code, hours, job duties, etc. She said if I was hired I should be expecting a call Friday. Well, sure enough, I got the call Friday saying I would be brought onto the team.

Negotiation Details – I just accepted the job because I haven't worked since December and need to start making money some way or another.

Interview Details It was pretty easy--I applied by walking in and asking for an application. A few weeks later they called and asked if I wanted to come in for an interview. I interviewed with the shift manager and a few days later they called to offer me the job.

Interview Details Pretty basic questions for a high school student with no experience.

Negotiation Details – minimum wage

Interview Details I saw an ad on kijiji for a DQ job fair and attended. As I entered the location, I noticed there was a very long line into a single room. I waited for four hours until they finally got to me. When I entered the room, it was set up like American Idol. One long table with three interviewers, and one single chair for me in the middle of the room. Talk about pressure! So I sat down and they ran through a series of typical questions and it was very rushed. I could tell they just wanted to get everyone over with quickly. It lasted about 15 minutes, then I shook each of their hands and left.

Interview Details I applied at Wetzel Pretzel's and i did the interview there but they sent me to Dairy Queen because they said it was the same company.

Interview Details My location gets a lot of applications, so I'm pretty sure I only got a call because I had a connection. I turned in the application, got a call after about two days to come in for an interview, and was hired on the spot based on my open availability and normal level of intelligence and social skills. I started the following day, and upon walking in, I did feel a sense of community and fun between the crew members.

Interview Details Very typical for interviews. Asked about prior experience, what I hoped to gain by joining the DQ team, what my strengths and weaknesses were.

I thought it was weird I was asked if I possessed reliable transportation. I get that they want to make sure you can make it to work, but if they refused to hire me if I said no, I'd be upset. It's not like I can't figure out a way to get there without a personal vehicle.

Negotiation Details – No negotiation

Interview Details I had filled out an application online. Almost a month later, I got an email from a manager saying that they are now reviewing all applications, and if you are being considered, you will receive another email about coming to an interview.
So about a week later, I got an email asking to come in for an interview.
It was at a hotel, and we could show up any time within a 4 hour time frame.
I went halfway through.
I showed up at the hotel, found the room they were doing the interview in.
Inside of the room there was a check-in table.
Once you got checked in, they walked me over to an interview (there were about 4 tables, each had one interviewer).
He looked at my online application and my resume.
He asked about my availability and,
"Why do you want to work at Dairy Queen?"
He then asked 3 scenario questions.
Afterwords, he asked if I had any questions, and I asked him about 4.
Then it was over.
It was only about 6 minutes long, it was very fast.
On the car ride home, about 20 minutes after I left I received a phone call saying I got the job!
