Weird ass interview
Had an interview today for Line Cook position. Applied on their website and set up and interview online through their AI assistant chatbot thing. I showed up 10 minutes early, was interviewed by two different people. The first person said she didn’t even know if they were hiring kitchen staff. She looked at me very confused when she saw that I had applied for the line cook position. She then asked me if I would be interested in serving and I said no because I would like kitchen experience. She asked me a few questions and then went to get another interviewer. I waited like 10 minutes for the second person to show up. The second interviewer was very cold, I don’t think she smiled at me once. Asked me a couple questions about my work experience. She seemed displeased with the fact that I was only at my last job for 4 months. Then looked me dead in my eyes without breaking eye contact and asked me why she should hire me. No smile. Very weird. I’ve never had such an unprofessional and hostile interview. She said she has a couple more interviews but that they’d email me. Im almost positive I’m not getting hired lol. Is this normal?? Is this some sort of intimidation tactic? I walked away feeling more anxious than when I showed up. I showed up early, wore black dress pants, a solid clean shirt and my hair tied back. I even put in earrings and put makeup on which is extremely rare for me lol. I called my mom and explained the whole thing in detail and she was just as shocked as I was. Is this normal??
