The Correct Method To Interview For Restaurant Work

By George Dodson


One needs to develop a perspective that will help differentiate between serious candidates and not-so-serious ones at an interview for job aspirants who aspire for a fast food job. In this article the questions have been compiled without any fixed basis. This means that you can ask any question first and choose those that pertain to your particular situation. For instance, the interviewer may ask whether the candidate knows the locations of a hotel for which he or she is the owner. Or if one seeks cheap workers for working in restaurants, one might ask what their salary expectations are before anything else. Let us look at the entire list.

Do you expect any problems in this kind of work? One needs to see this answer to understand why this candidate is suited or unsuitable for the job since the experience and talent will be obvious from the depth of the answer.

What is your weakness? Judging from the answers, you should be able to find out those people who have experience and those who are beginners in this field. However, you may get some who will not answer this question truthfully or try to give smart answers.

Do you have any experience in the fast food work? This is an easy step for siphoning off those who are really talented. In the case of those fast food employers who want only new hands, this question serves to show which job aspirant fits the bill.

Did you make any suggestions for improving the fast food scene and were they used? Pay very careful attention to the answer. Here you can see those job seekers who have true talent. It is rare to find such people who are interested enough to make suggestions for improving the service. Did you find yourself in an uncomfortable situation with your teachers, friends or superiors? It is very rare to get a true answer here. Experienced hands will have gone through unpleasant instances many times in their working career and will tell you only those incidents that do not compromise their good standing.

Are you familiar with our hotel chain? Candidates who really want the job will have all the facts ready by looking up the pamphlets from the hotel. If they do not have the information, they cannot be serious about their candidacy.

What is your inspiration for seeking employment with us? You can expect the majority of the candidates to give you the answer as money but in some instances you could get answers like I like working or I like restaurant work more than other jobs. You can assess the mental orientation of the candidates through this answer.

What reasons are there for us to hire you? Be prepared to hear all the wonderful qualities of the job aspirant including experiences and inspirations. There could be some innovative answers too from some of the brighter candidates.

Do you have any specific salary range in mind? Of course, this question is purely rhetorical, in the sense that the answer does not matter in the end. Some candidates will come up with astonishing figures too. Again, this should not have any bearing towards the final selection but must be a way to judge the relative experience or inexperience of the candidate.

Do your parent approve of you taking up such work? You will find people who have no option other than to work. You cannot expect the same attitude towards the job from job aspirants who want to work to increase their pocket-money. Some job applicants are attached to food-related work.

Those who prepare best, reap the sweetest rewards. Now that you know how to interview for a fast food job, you can get the best candidates lined up easily. This questionnaire will also serve as a guideline for those who prepare to join for such a job.
