So it was pretty much just as you, the more you work there, the more things you were able to do. And so I got to the point where I was able to do pretty much everything.
Interviewer: What was the work environment like?
Raising Cane’s Crew Member: It was pretty relaxed. Everyone was pretty friendly and it was, I felt really comfortable in there, especially being one of the youngest people. Most people that work there at the time were 30 plus years old and I was still at 17 18 years old, so it was very comfortable and I got along with most people.
Interviewer: What was your favorite part about working there?
Raising Cane’s Crew Member: It wasn’t overly stressful and I got a good amount of pay. They start everyone off at $10 an hour and it wasn’t overly stressful. So yeah, even though there would be big huge rushes for lunch and dinner, it was still very manageable. You just kind of just went about your business.
Interviewer: Please describe the application and interview process.
Raising Cane’s Crew Member: The application was online, you filled out the standard application and then it took you through these two quizzes. One was a hundred questions, one was 30 some questions. Just kind of getting to know who you were a little more in depth before they schedule you for an interview and then once you went in for the interview they did the normal interview and then once they’ve agreed to hire you, they kind of told me about the company and some things that they do for employees and all that.
Interviewer: What questions did the interviewer ask during the job interview?
Raising Cane’s Crew Member: Where I’d worked before. What skills I’m good at. Whether I was in high school or not. Whether I had transportation. Yeah, just what activities, personal and stuff that would prevent me from working all the time. Some stuff that they need to schedule me around.
Interviewer: How were you notified that you received the job?
Raising Cane’s Crew Member: They notified me the day of the interview. They’re like, “Okay, yeah, you’re hired.” And then a day later they sent me an email saying that all the things I would need to do for the first day of orientation. I came in, they got me all set up. So from the interview day to the first real day, it was maybe a week.
Interviewer: What set you apart from other candidates?
Raising Cane’s Crew Member: The fact that I’d worked in kitchens before. I had worked at Bob Evans and a place called Grinders. It was a sub shop, so I had a lot of kitchen experience and I knew how to handle that kind of environment.
Interviewer: What other advice would you give to a job seeker looking to gain employment?
Raising Cane’s Crew Member: Just be easygoing. Don’t expect to be able to control everything that happens and just try to be nice to people.
