When I arrived, I was asked whether I was a walk-in or had a scheduled interview. I let them know I had a scheduled interview, and they handed me a sheet to fill out with my name, the position I was applying for, and my availability. After completing it, I was directed to a table where I spoke with a gentleman who began by explaining his position and giving me some background on the restaurant. He then reviewed my availability on the sheet. Since I’m currently in school, I can only work part-time, and I noted that I’m available Wednesday through Saturday. He told me that for their well-being, they needed full-time availability, particularly on Sundays. I explained that I wasn’t looking for a full-time position, but he reiterated that they needed people with open availability since they were just opening. I understand their staffing needs, but it was frustrating to drive 40 minutes for an interview only to be declined for the same availability I had already submitted when I first applied and completed the assessment. Not only did I waste gas and put unnecessary miles on my car, but the interview process itself felt vague and somewhat inefficient.
