I applied online. I interviewed at What A Bagel (Toronto, ON) in Sept 2023
Interview
It is not even an interview. Guy hiring is so much in a hurry, rude. You're busy, I get it, although that was a Sunday holiday weekend. No applicable questions except for your work availability. Job posting mentions only store hours, not the actual time employees need to be in the location. I reiterated 6:30am SUNDAYS only - public transportation is unreliable. Turns out they don't need you that early on weekends, so I said no issues coming in that early. Guy just stood up, said we'll call you, turned his back. Didn't even have the courtesy to acknowledge that you showed for that so-called "interview". I missed 2 hours at my other job just to accomodate this "interview" and that's all I experienced. Major red flag.
I applied in-person. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at What A Bagel (Toronto, ON) in Feb 2018
Interview
Takes about a week to respond to your application, very friendly and laid back interview. They ask about your favourite food and drinks. They ask about your previous barista experience(not required). overall good experience
