Hi tomorrow I am going to a job interview to a newly opened restaurant. I'm just a college student looking for a part time job right now and I applied to be a waiter. What do they usually ask in interviews? I've never been interviewed so I am not sure what to expect. Also about what to wear - is wearing jeans usually ok? Or is that a big no?

Help me please!!!

"Tell me about yourself"

"Have you had previous experience in similar establishments"

Well, if you're applying for a waiter, the main question would be "Do you have arms/hands?". Since you typed up that message, I think your chances are pretty high.

Do NOT wear jeans to your interview. If it's a more casual work environment you may get away with just a nice pair of slacks and a polo shirt, otherwise a shirt and tie is a must.

They'll ask you questions about your resume, maybe why you want to work for them or how long you plan to be with them. Just keep eye contact and answer confidently. Interviews are cake.

eye contact, eye contact, eye contact

DO NOT WEARS JEANSESESES


Nice clothes, confidence, don't be arrogant, and if they say they will call you back, call them yourself a day or two later. It shows that you desire to work.

"Where do you see yourself in 5 years?"
"What would you do if a customer was upset and creating a scene?"
"What is your greatest strength/flaw?"
"Do you have any questions for me?"

and you better have a question to ask, even if you already know the answer.

for greatest flaw, everybody says the same thing, but that is okay "I tend to over analyze things".

I'm just guessing with the "if a customer is upset" question, but when i was interviewed for teaching swim lessons they asked something along those lines, and in school they went over similar questions with consultant work.

I would say jeans would be okay for an interview to be a waiter, but I would wear a nice dress shirt with it.

Good luck!

Do your research on the company first. If this is a proper job, not like 'wendys( i think?!) or mcdonalds etc, it's probably not that important but any proper eat-in resturant with expensive meals and well dressed people etc usually like employees to have a bit of knowledge of the company before-hand. This might just be a British thing though, not sure.

Don't look down at the ground if the interviewer is writing something down after they ask a question, I did that in an interview and the person thought I was texting in my interview lol.

convince them you will work your ass off while maintaining a solid face for their establishment. they don't want drama. if they ask you "would you rather work in the front or the back?" say something like "i'd rather work in the front", but let them know that you would work hard anywhere.

'someone has said that the food is not what they ordered, or it is over/under cooked. How do you react?'

shit like that, interviews for restaurant are easy.

A nice shirt (not t-shirt) and a pair of slacks will do fine. If you wear jeans, make sure they don't have any holes in them, and the thread at the end near ur feet are not coming undone.

Yeah they'll just ask about previous experience and what you would do in certain situations.

Khaki's and a polo should be fine. Call them a couple days after if they haven't called you. Suit/black pants/tie are all pretty overkill for a waiter if its a run-of-the-mill restaraunt.
how reasonable is it to eat off wood instead of your tummy?

''If you were a fish, what would your opinion be on the colour green?'' and ''Do you think potatoes will play a key role in WW3?''.

Trust me. Those two always come up.

I believe in the almighty Grötslev! -- I am never serious and you should never believe a thing I say. Including the previous sentence.

Be sure to emphatically deny any accusations that you want to be waiter just so you can steal from the restaurant. In fact, I good opening statement would be something to the effect of "Hi, I'm _____ and I do not want to steal from this establishment". 2 cents
