i applied online and got an email the next day telling me to call to set up an interview. i called that day and it seemed like the manager didn’t even look at my application. i had only worked one retail job for two years and she didn’t seem impressed, saying “that’s it?”. i was able to set up an interview for the next day, where i had told her i would be comfortable working as a server or a hostess. i already have great customer service down, so it would just be a little more training. she was kinda rude the whole interview, but set up an interview with a different manager a few days from then. i went for my second interview and talked to a completely different manager than the first day or the one i was supposed to talk to. He was very nice and told me they have a great training system so i would do fine. he said i’m clearly good with the customers so i would be a good fit. He had to talk to someone about scheduling training sessions but he would call me the next day to see what my schedule was. it was the weekend and i never got a call. i figured they were busy so i decided i would call them. i was waiting to get out of school to call them, but then i got the typical email saying they couldn’t offer me a job. i was applying to olive garden as a second job, so i didn’t really need it. however i feel like they definitely wasted my time, when i could have been looking for another job, maybe one where they’re actually honest with you. frustrating that i was told i could be trained and all of a sudden it’s a no go. i feel like there should be more communication.
