A Job Interview Guide for Starters
Recommended Answer:
Considering the job you're applying for, I know it would be tempting to wear shorts to the interview, but don't. Wear khakis and a polo shirt instead. Try to be relaxed. He's not going to ask you any questions that would be difficult to answer. He just wants to get to know you, and see what kind of employee you'd be. Can you get along with co-workers and jump in if they need help? How would you treat a rude, unhappy customer? What days and hours can you work? Do you intend to quit when school starts? And since it's Sonic, can you skate? lol If you are hired, make sure you find out before you leave the interview when you'll start work, when the schedule for the week goes up, when you'll get paid, what your salary is, what you'll be expected to do in the event you can't work one day
(other than calling in should you find your own replacement) and anything else you're unsure of.
Good luck, Brad
The Essential Job Interview Checklist
- Don't wear shorts to an interview ever! Even for retail or fast food. They do look at appearance, what you're wearing, how well groomed you are. Wear slacks, or nice pants with the polo shirt. (I got a job at a store once and the human resource person who interviewed us told those of us who got the job that she looked at how well we were dressed. She said it matters even though we wear a uniform)
He may ask why you want to work at Sonic (so do some research on the company just to have some background info on the company) He may ask you what other types of jobs you have had. The manager may give a scenario in which you have to answer what you would do. (Like how to deal with a cranky customer or a complaint about food not being how they wanted it)
You could ask the manager what the busiest times of the day are. How does the crew work together during those times. You can ask if you will learn different areas of the restaurant. - Shorts are NEVER ok for an interview, even at a fast food place. Polo shirt and khakis are totally ok for this though. Most managers ask the same basic questions like when was a time you went out of your way to give good customer service, or helped a fellow classmate? They will ask the hours you can work, what you do in school.
Most places just interview you to make sure you aren't a total idiot. You'll be fine, remember to not be nervous...it's just fast food man. Good luck - If the manager has any tattoos or odd piercings, you may ask about their childhood-mainly the relationship with the father. Also, you might ask their height, weight, salary before taxes, as well as their political status and their view of the middle east. These are all useful tools that will show your manager that you are seriously interested in working for them. HOPE THIS HELPS!
- I would go for black slacks, not khaki shorts.
And remember to be yourself. It is important to smile and show consideration and have a professional attitude.
Good luck! - where a mormal shirt and troushers. he will ask you questions about previous emplyers, why u left. just answer the questions.
