Two Caterers interview questions

I met with two women from upper management who had been with the company for multiple years. Both were very friendly and helpful during the interview, and told me I should hear back by the end of the following week. Upon the conclusion of the next week, I eagerly checked in with the company, and was told neither of the women were in the office so they would take a message for them to call me back. After another week went by, I again tried to make contact with anyone who may know if the position had been filled and again, was told I would get a call back. After the third and final call with NO call back or email responses, I wasn't only upset that I (obviously) had not gotten the job, but the company had done such a poor job communicating back with me. Moral of the story, don't tell an applicant you will be in touch with them if you actually don't intend to do anything of the sort.

The HR coordinator emailed me to schedule an interview. We agreed on a date and time, so I showed up in professional dress to talk with her. I didn't realize that she meant to schedule an initial phone interview, but she did the in-person interview with me anyways. She briefly told me about the company and the position they were looking to fill. She asked me the somewhat typical interview questions mixed with a few more unusual ones. She was very personable and seemed enthusiastic about me being the right fit. We scheduled another interview to meet the chef a few days later. I had my second interview with the HR coordinator, the chef, and sous chef. They asked me more about my previous kitchen experiences and what I was looking for in a new position. We then scheduled a stage in the kitchen. I did my stage working in the kitchen for about 3 hours, during which I made staff lunch and got to talk with some of the other guys in the kitchen. I was told they'd get back to me within the next few days. I received an official job offer over the phone and have been working there ever since.
