I had an interview at Arby's today at 2 o'clock. I show up five minutes before the interview to show that I can be on time and to look good. I get there and they were busy, so I had to sit for thirty minutes. Not to mention their was a girl also waiting there to be interviewed.

She sat down and I shake her hand. She told me it was suppose to be 2:30, but she said 2:00 on the phone. She asked me to tell her a little bit about myself, which I do so. After that, the interview went down hill.

She started talking about how they like the employer's to dress. You have to wear black pants, a black belt, and "black shoes that you can polish." She said, "we also like our male employee's to shave and I noticed you haven't. What is up with that? This is an interview?" Alright, I wasn't aware that you couldn't have a mustache during an interview.

Then we talked about my previous job. I accidentally put down the wrong amount of time I worked at Shaff Steps. I think she thought I was lying to her, which I wasn't. I told her that I had to leave because the main boss died and the business closed down, which is true also. I worked with my father.

she said, "where does your father work? Can you get a job with him?" Wait, that threw me off. Why are you asking me about where my father works and if I can work with him? I didn't ask her that, but I was thinking that.

I told her that this was my first interview and I was nervous, since she was pretty much making me feel as if I was not good enough for Arby's or that I was some kind of loser. I told her that I want to work there for more work experience and to save money for college. She said, "Oh, you don't have any grants?", then gave me a dirty look. She talked more about my looks than the job. I felt very uncomfortable and judged. She had a rude comment for everyone of my replies.

This sucks, since I need a job.

Dang, I'm sorry! I've been to an interview that went a lot like that! The man I interviewed with was a total dick.

Well, now you know what it would be like to work there then... Guess it's just not the right place for you. How about trying other places? If I were you I would apply to a few places at a time..

that does suck, i'm sorry.

seriously though, sometimes i don't know what people expect of you during an interview. i went for one a couple of months ago, just before getting my current job, and it was just for a supermarket. the woman interviewing me was, imo, really inappropriate. she asked me about my last relationship and what i would have done to change it. wtf?

it's all experience though and, if you don't get this one, better luck next time :)

Shitty deal. I hate interviews.
But dude, appearances are kind of a big deal when it comes to making a good impression. I mean employers are gonna feel better about hiring someone who's clean cut and well dressed to represent the company than someone who is not so much. Dress to impress and all that. Then once you've got the job you can rock the facial hair.

As for her being a bitch, at least if you don't get the job you don't have to work for her.

I have filled out so many applications. It's hard to even get an interview here in Michigan. our encomy is so horrible. All I can do now is wait until someone calls me back. I'm just disappointed because I have rent and bills, so I'm always broke.

dude you do gotta understand their business depends on appearances to some degree, it's company image
but all in all it's a numbers game,
tomorrow go talk to managers of three other restaurants,
dont just ask for an app., say "i'd like to talk to your manager" that way you dont waste time and at the same time show your worthiness by demanding attention
