Agree and disagree test
I had applied at Cracker Barrel and after filling out the application online. I had to take the agree and disagree test. Really? I really dislike these test and I asked for help while at the unemployment filling out the online agree and disagree test. After i submitted the application i received an email from Cracker Barrel to come in for an interview the next day. I applied for a hostess position . The next day i arrive for the interview and I am early enough time to eat and observed the workers and not telling them I am here for a job. I pay for my lunch and then tell the cashier I am here for an interview. The manager tells me oh we are not looking for hostess but needing waitress after i tell him that I will be going to school in the morning for nursing and I can work in the afternoon after i tell him this.. oh.. we will call you if we need you..
The second time I applied to Cracker Barrel in Florida.. I got an email to call to set up an interview to come in.. I arrived i tell the cashier I have an appointment for an interview with Danny .. I wait and wait for this guy. as i am waiting .i look around the store.. ok.. finally some guy ask me my name and what i m applying for .. he takes me to table in another dinning room and offers me a drink.. a sprite i say.. .. as i waiting ..the hostess talks to me.. she has a computer tablet in her hands.. and ask my name and what i am applying for.. i tell her my name is April.. she repeats my name "Maple" no my name is April not Maple.. oh thats what i say.. anyways she leaves.. suddenly this Indie man sits across me.. oh are Danny ... i shake his hand.. he goes over my application.. and the score of this agree and disagree test.. he says I did not pass this test and its says not to hire you.. .. oh.. why do you want to work here.. why are you better than the rest of the other applicants he has 13 other people to interview. I am a good and friendly person.. I will attend to the customer needs.. I told him i left Tenneses few weeks ago.. and i was working at Burger King.. .. oh.. wow.. its not enough he says.wanting someone with formal dining room experience.. Cracker barrel is not formal dining.. to me its not.. The guy was jerk and went to hostess for hand sanitizer..after shaking my hand .. jerk !
Hi Abril, I am so sorry the interview didn't go well. Some companies have a very strict hiring process and standards unfortunately. He sounds like he wasn't the best person to be interviewing either. I think the best thing you can do now is push through this experience and keep looking for work. I think what he meant by formal dinning was that you will serve the food, sell products, etc. As a past waitress I know it's a tough job and not for everyone, but so is working for a fast food company. The next time someone says something about not enough experience think about all the things you did in your past job that you can carry over into this potential one. True, you may not have had the exact experience he was looking for, but you have had a lot of customer service interaction. I wish you the best Abril, don't let this one interview stop you!!
