After turning in more job applications than I can imagine, I finally have my first job interview at Chipotle. I'm kind of nervous and I heard from a lot of places that they won't drug test you cause I smoked in the past 3 days so if they do I'm probably screwed. It's not the drug testing I'm worried about though it's that this is my first interview and idk how to handle it or what not. Should I dress professional or casual since it is Chipotle lol. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
Dress professional. You are instantly judged off your appearance. Look neat and clean. Speak confidently. Use a strong voice. If its a man that's interviewing you shake his hand very firmly. Yes ma'am yes sir. Try not to stutter or appear nervous. Do a mack interview in the mirror. I believe confidence and acting proffesional is the most important thing. Sure its a fast food job but this will most likely set you above the others trying to get that job. Good luck man sending good vibes your way!
Also go in with a pen if you need to fill any paper work out that shows preparedness. And show up a little early.
Eye contact is important too. When they ask you a question, answer with confidence! Since you will be dealing with customers, smile a lot during the interview. Come across as a happy person that would enjoy this job. Remember that you are not the only one applying. What will make you stand out from the others to get that job? Good luck.
Also just try to relax. I remember my first interview I was very nervous and it showed. Sorry for blowing up your thread blade haha
Thanks a bunch guys! And it's all good man lol I appreciate you blowing it up! I need all the advice I can get. Thanks again guys!
Answer the questions directly, don't pussyfoot around it. They'll notice that and think you aren't capable of following direction. Don't be afraid to take a minute to think of an answer to any, "Tell me about a situation when..." questions; but don't overdo it. Be honest. Praise yourself, but don't come across as arrogant. You want them to like you, not think you're gonna act like you're better than the rest of the crew on your first day.
Alright for those of you who care lol I just got back from my job interview and I feel as though it went well. they said they'd contact me in the next 2 days so if anything happens I'll let you guys know. Thanks again for all the advice and support!
Yes ma'am and Yes sir, are more important than you think. I made the mistake of saying "Yeah dude" a couple times and I think that's why I didn't get the job. Good luck
During an interview a friend had, the recruiter asked." Here at Chipotle we pride ourselves in ingredients with integrity, what does this mean to you?" (lol) Unfortunately my friend is an airhead and didn't know how to respond. Too bad, I was really looking forward to discounted prices on burritos
Yeah, Chipotle is big on "food with integrity." And I know for a fact that they do not drug test. 99% of food-service jobs don't.
Alright guys so Chipotle sent me an email saying that they're unable to offer me the job but it's all good. I have a new dilemma. I have a second interview at Cedar Point this Sunday and I'm pretty sure they drug test. I will not, however, be handling rides or anything of the sort. I will be a sweep. I basically go around making sure the park is clean. My friend said he knows some people that smoke and work there. I most recently smoked yesterday and I need to know what I can do to help get it out of my system in case they do test me =p Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks
I might wear a tux *ha, I doubt it* I'd probably show up naked like always do, look the boss in the eye and say "Yo, fuck you!"
Damn son you need to get your priorities in check. Why keep smoking if you know you have interviews. No quick clean other than pee kits or real dehydrated human piss. expensive sonny. And rejected at chipotle ...and by email. What did you do at the interview lmao
