I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Panda Express
Interview
I applied online through their company website which nothing stated about having experiences background in restaurant management, but bachelor degree. Within few days, one of the ACO contacted me by email for interview. We confirmed for interview location, date, and time. I went there, it was an open house interview. I waited for over an hour than my interview time. She asked for my resume, didn't have it with me, thought she got all my info when I submitted online. She didn't even try to print it hardcopy or something. When she asked about management experience I said none, and I think it went downhill from there. Very unprofessional. Waste of my time.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why Panda? Why do you want to be a Manager? Previous working experiences.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Panda Express (Mason City, IA) in Jan 2021
Interview
I was reached out to over Indeed to interview over Zoom. I then had a 30 minute king interview with a recruiter who’s been with the company 19 years. She was a great interviewer. She asked me to describe my coworkers and then asked me what I’m doing to improve them. Her interview tactic is basically for the applicant to dig themself in a hole and then have a satisfactory response to dig themselves out. It was a good interview but my current role has the title “leader” instead of Manager and she says “so you’re not even a Manager?”....
