Hiring process information for an interview at Taco Bell
The Taco Bell interview serves as an essential step in the hiring process. Depending on the volume of applicants, Taco Bell may take two weeks or more to contact prospective employees about scheduling job interviews. After landing the interview, an applicant must dress properly, act appropriately, and answer questions effectively during the interview in order to gain employment consideration with Taco Bell.
As with any job interview, Taco Bell applicants want to make a good first impression. Workers should wear business casual clothing and refrain from wearing tennis shoes, cotton tee-shirts, or blue jeans. If in doubt about what to wear, dress formally. A hiring manager or shift leader generally conducts interviews and typically asks questions regarding job skills, work experience, and availability as well other questions to gauge personality. An interviewer may ask whether you tend to arrive on time or what kind of extracurricular activities you participate in during your free time. Prospective Taco Bell employees should answer all questions honestly and concisely during the interview process. Above all, relax and prove you really want the job.

Video Transcript
Interviewer: Please describe your job title and primary duties with Taco Bell.
Taco Bell Employee: My job title at Taco Bell consisted of food prep and sanitation after hours, and my basic duties were to restock the line as far as vegetables and taco meat. I assisted in the making of the product for the customers. That was really about it.
Interviewer: What was the work environment like at Taco Bell?
Taco Bell Employee: Fast paced. You have to make the tacos and all of the other food for the customers. In the meantime, if the dishes were low, you’d have to do the dishes, as well. You have to maintain a sanitary environment for the customers, as well. It was pretty fast paced.
Interviewer: What was your favorite part about working for Taco Bell?
Taco Bell Employee: Free Tacos. I got all the free tacos that I needed.
Interviewer: Please describe a typical day as a Taco Bell server.
Taco Bell Employee: A typical day as a Taco Bell member, I would sit on the line and I would make the product that goes straight to the customer. In the spare time, I would do a lot of cleaning duties: cleaning the ovens and the walls and assisting with dishes, as well.
Interviewer: How would you describe the application and interview process with Taco Bell?
Taco Bell Employee: The interview process was… well, I didn’t really have the interview. Three people walked off the job and I wanted to order food. The manager said, “Do you want a job?”, and I just so happened to be looking for a job. She put me to work right on the spot.
Interviewer: What should an applicant wear to the Taco Bell job interview?
Taco Bell Employee: An applicant would wear to the job interview, I’d say a pair of slacks and a nice dress shirt was convenient for that type of work environment.
Interviewer: What questions did the interviewer ask during the job interview?
Taco Bell Employee: The interviewer asked me if I was willing to work overtime and some weekends, and they asked me if I could come in on my days off if someone else would call off. So, I worked a lot of overtime. That was really about it.
Interviewer: What other advice would you give to a job seeker looking to gain employment with Taco Bell?
Taco Bell Employee: Be prepared to work in a fast paced environment. Although the food may be good, it can be a hectic environment.

Calvin Mitchell:
You should dress well but still casually, i.e. wear something that people would typically wear to church and maybe a tie but don’t come with a tuxedo or anything. The goatee doesn’t have to be shaved. I’m not sure, but I don’t think your age will be an issue. Although I have noticed that stores like wal-mart and target seem to higher a lot more older people, while I see more younger people working at fast food places, so you might want to try a supermarket first.
Good luck!
HOW SHOULD I DRESS ON INTERVIEW? WHAT KIND OF QUESTIONS ARE ASKED DURING INTERVIEW? I AM 61 YEARS OLD,BUT IN EXCELLENT HEALTH. IS MY AGE A PROBLEM? I HAVE A GOATTEE,DO I HAVE TO SHAVE IT OFF?

After that, they told me that they would forward my info to the general manager of the store i would be working at.. After going there, and being asked about my management style, list my good/bad qualities, also asked a few question about family and what i like to do in my free time. He said he was going to recommend me. After this, I was contacted by the regional manager, who took me out to applebees and paid for some food for me. We talked and she told me that i would be going to a local location to see there rush, and if i passed the BG check and was still interested that i had the job. This was for salary assistant manager position. starting 24,000 a year.

January 6th, 2011 at 10:19 pmOk its just taco bell. I have worked in food service for over fifteen years and the best thing you can do is to dress the way the people at the place you are trying to get a job dress. If you are going for managment yes, you need to dress up a bit nice slackes button down shirt good shoes and a tie and jacket if you want. However, if you are going for a crew position then you can dress more casual you can even wear your jeans and a nice shirt or top as long as you look clean neat and presentable. They will ask you about your past work if you have any if you dont tell them about any volunteering you do or school programs you are or have been a part in. They will ask you to tell them about yourself and that dose not mean that they want to know that you like to go to the movies and hang with friends try to tell them things about yourself that would make you a good addition to the company always try to relate your answers to them in a way that would make you a good potential employee. EG I am out going and friendly and like to meet a varity of different people.. They may ask you things like why should I hire you how long would you think you will stay at this job why do you want to worl here ect. I hope this helps
December 27th, 2010 at 12:39 pmso if you apply on the internet what do you do for them to hire you?call? or just wait?
January 20th, 2011 at 6:39 pmTo King: if you had a positive PPD (protein purified derivative) :a tuberculosis skin test, all it means is that you have been EXPOSED to TB at some time in your life, at which time your body made antibodies to TB. That is all the skin test verifies. A chest xray is done to look for any actual disease in the lungs. A clear xray and being asymptomatic means you have no active disease process going on and Taco Bell cannot use this as a reason to not hire you. PS, a positive TB test is not that uncommon. Jen RN
January 25th, 2011 at 6:39 pmWould it be better to actually go to the store and give them the application? Would that make a better impression? Or does it not really matter? And I don’t need to wear a skirt or dress, correct? I can just wear nice jeans and a nice shirt?
January 29th, 2011 at 2:26 pmI have been looking for a job for a while now and i thought this would be a great job for me
February 27th, 2011 at 4:29 pmwhat questions will they ask me
March 18th, 2011 at 2:54 pmIt’s always good to go in, get the application, and turn it in to the store you’re trying to get hired at. For me, I found out when the hiring manager was going to be there and I told her I had turned in my application and I checked if any positions were available. I went back every Friday after that and asked about positions available. I went in at a specific time each day (mine was 4:00 pm) and I dressed in my nice casual clothes, not Sunday’s best. I had my first interview today, and my second interview is tomorrow. For my interview I dressed up in nice slacks and a plan shirt, bery simple. Hope this helped!
June 23rd, 2011 at 2:10 amthey test for illegal drugs in your system.
October 27th, 2011 at 1:16 pmI put in an application online.But before that I put in an application inside as well.Now What I’m wondering,is what should I wear.Should I wear some nice slacks and a plain black shirt,or some nice slacks with maybe a nice designed shirt(by the way I am female,most of the dress suggestions seemed to lean towards men =/) And I’m wondering what type of questions they’ll ask me…If anyone knows.Thanks so much!~Kimi
