AMC Concessionist Interview Video
Video Transcript
Interviewer: Please describe your job title and primary duties.
AMC Concessions Worker: So, I was concessionist, so it’s pretty simple. Just work behind the concession stand, selling popcorn, pretzels, nachos, hot dogs. Job pretty much just entailed that. I guess you have to have knowledge about the movie theater and general layout, because you get asked questions like, “Where is movie theater 8? Theater 6?”, “Where is the bathroom?” Simple things – you just have to know the layout. Smiling always. Be friendly, because you are dealing with customers. Pretty much what I did.
Interviewer: What was the work environment like?
AMC Concessionist: It was good. I feel that it was mostly young people that worked there with me, for the most part. So, it was just other high school students working with me. So, it was a fun atmosphere. We would sometimes sneak in and watch movies in our free time. Saw the end of a couple movies maybe 20-30 times. So, it was fun.
Interviewer: How would you describe the application and interview process?
AMC Concessionist: It was a while ago, but the application was not that long. I think it was maybe four or five questions. Then, you got an interview, which if you could speak English, I feel most people got an interview. Interview was 15-20 minutes. Simple, one-on-one interview with the manager, and after that, they just kind of let you know if you got hired or not.
Interviewer: What questions did the interviewer ask during the job interview?
AMC Concessionist: They pretty much just asked about my previous experience, what I’d done in the past. I think they asked me one time to role-play if they were a customer; they kind of gave me a hard time and see how I would handle it. That was one of the tougher ones, I think. That was pretty much the one I remember most, the role-playing. They asked me, “Pretend I’m a customer, and you messed up my order. What you would do?”
Interviewer: What set you apart from other candidates?
AMC Concessions: I think confidence. I think when you leave an interview, they may not remember you, but they’ll remember what you said, the way you said it, and the way you came out of it.
Interviewer: What other advice would you give to a job seeker looking to gain employment?
AMC Concessionist: Smile a lot in the interview. Try to come off as confident as you can. If you don’t know something specific, don’t act like you know it. Just be honest and smile, and just act like you want to learn it quickly and adapt. You’re probably going to work well with others. Those are the most important things.
