      Food Server Interview

      16 Jun 2013
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Las Vegas, NV
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at The Cheesecake Factory (Las Vegas, NV) in Jun 2013

      Interview

      Filled out online application, which included a test very similar to the SAT, and a personality test. Received phone call promptly for a phone interview. Answered all questions and made a date for an in-person interview. Upon arriving at the first interview, I arrived early but had to wait about 20 minutes or so (understandable, considering that the restaurant looked somewhat busy). First manager interviewing me was very polite and friendly, outgoing, and made me feel exceptionally welcome. Asked me objective questions about how I could greatly apply my skills directly to the restaurant--how can we bring out the best in you? I had taken quite some time to thoroughly research both the menu and the company itself prior to the interview, and had an opportunity to share my prior serving experience with this first manager, who was very warm and kind. I felt the first interview went exceptionally well... This manager scheduled me to meet with a higher manager at a later date --I was very excited. The second interview was quite a different story altogether! I arrived on time but again had to wait a rather lengthy amount of time in order to simply meet with this said manager. I was greeted somewhat coldly--the rigid handshake, complete with a frown followed by other subtle cues to further indicate that my chances were likely all but in vain. The questions were asked in a stiff, terse, and unwelcoming tone, read like a laundry list from A to Z, giving me a very unwelcoming feeling. At the very least, I was given a day when their ultimate decision would be made, but to be quite honest with you readers--looking in hindsight--I was very sorely disappointed at the experience and feel somewhat shocked at how oppositely I had been not only greeted but interviewed when comparing the first interview from the second one.

      Question 1

      If you made a mistake that went unnoticed, what would you do? It was a vague question, which I needed clarification on.

      I interviewed at The Cheesecake Factory

      Interview

      It was a 2-step interview. The first interview was with a manager and the second interview followed about 15 minutes after with the general manager. Both were very pleasant and asked general interview questions.

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at The Cheesecake Factory in Mar 2022

      Interview

      Interviewer had a personal biased about unemployed individuals. Had questioning attitude that didn't feel welcoming. Set uneasy vibes during the interview. Second interview was abducted but was not really interview it was previous process. They kept saying they need certain expectations but didn't meet the candidates.
