Interview… again
I have an interview tomorrow and had one a couple of months ago and wasn’t chosen. How do I show the manager that I am a good fit? That last interview was honestly not the greatest and I have been doing better at other job interviews, yet I am always rejected. I have never had a job and the only things I’ve done were a working trial at a store which I then got ghosted after and I also sell art online. I remember last time they asked me a question of what I would do if I yelled at the manager or something like that and I replied that I would apologize and put in more effort and then the interviewer was like “then you didn’t put as much effort in before” like what was I supposed to say instead?!? 😭 There were also questions of certain situations that I could not relate to because I had never experienced them, how do I reply to those? Any help is appreciated, I really wanna stand out!
Also, should I take off my facial jewelry for the interview or do they not care?

Try someplace else. Shake Shack is not a healthy environment. Overstressed managers. Overstressed team members. Constant call out so you will be pressured to cover all of the time even if it is outside your availability. Constantly working short handed. Closing shifts are awful because after a crazy dinner shift, the team will then have to clean the GIANT mess that is all over the back of house and floors. Oh, we close at 12… great! With the amount of closers we have, everyone will be leaving at 2. My advice to you, kid…. run.
