I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Cinemark (San Jose, CA) in Apr 2010
Interview
I randomly filled out the extremely long online application and received a call a few weeks later to come in for a group interview. Turns out it was a group interview with myself and three others. The manager started off by asking everyone to tell the group a little about ourselves and our former/current work experience. I was the only one that was not previously employed in the group. He then asked each of us a different question relevant to the position we were interviewing for. After he asked each of us a question, he suddenly told us that the interview was over with. I thought I didn't get the job because I had no experience and only had one question to prove myself with. A few weeks later I got a call offering me the position and asking if I could come in the same day to sign some paper work. Turns out 3 of the 4 people interviewing got the job (the only person that didn't had a big attitude problem during the interview).
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What would you do if a customer came up to you and complained that their popcorn was burnt?
Pretty basic questions. What are your hours, experience, etc. They then talked about the positions.Just pretty much look clean,show up on time, and ask questions at the end to gain a spot.
The interview process was easy going. My interviewer was very polite. The questions that were asked were very general, mostly about availability. You are trained on the job for what you need to know afterwards.
Required Clothing: Business Casual
The interview was super easy and done solo—no group interview at all. I got hired on the spot, which was a nice surprise. The whole process was quick, smooth, and completely stress-free from start to finish.
