City Catering interview questions

Director of Operations and Staffing Recruiter ran the interview. Brief job description was given. Types of events were discussed, as well as company culture and growth. General inquiries about my personall background, etc...

Submitted a resume online. They will call you in even if you don't have experience. The first interview is with the hiring manager. She's a really nice person. If you seem like a good worker, she will call in an additional manager or chef depending on which department you are applying for. If it's for the kitchen, they'll set up a time (about 2 hours) that you come in and work with a supervisor. You have to do everything that the supervisor or others ask. There's no hand-holding here. They want to see your sanitation skills and if you can set up a work station and chop some stuff. You'll probably be cutting vegetables or making a salad for staff lunch. Or, slicing bread for bruschetta. The supervisor then reports back to the chef. If they want to hire you, the chef will call you in a few days. I'm not sure how it goes for servers or on-site cooks. But, they do hire a lot of people, so your chances of getting hired are very good. Also, if you hire on as a server, and need extra hours, they often have you work in the kitchen.
