Round Table Pizza Crew Member Interview Video
Video Transcript
Interviewer: Please describe your job title and primary duties.
Round Table Pizza Employee: Just a crew member working for Round Table. My main duty was making pizzas. There’d be a line where the order would be handed down, and then everybody would put in there the different ingredients for the pizza. That’s basically what I did, but I would also… taking a break from making a pizza would be going in the back and washing dishes. Basically, just whatever was needed, but not working on the cashier and obviously not managerial duties.
Interviewer: What was the work environment like?
Round Table Pizza Employee: The work environment was pretty fast-paced, especially during lunch and dinner times. We’d just get order after order after order. Yeah, it would just be pizza after pizza. Sometimes, there wouldn’t be enough space in the ovens that we had, so pizzas would be on the counter waiting to go in, but we’d still be making more and more pizzas. It was usually fast-paced, but at other times, it was a little laidback, like in the morning. Not in the morning, but when we just open, there weren’t that many orders, so it would mostly be like cleaning in the back or other stuff, like restocking the food.
Interviewer: How would you describe the application and interview process?
Round Table Pizza Employee: So, the application process and interview process… basically, what I did was I was referenced by a friend who already was working there. That’s how I found out about the position. The application process would just pretty basic. I filled out the application, turned in my resume. There were other applicants, but I was called in for an interview. The interview process was also, I think, basic. I wouldn’t know for sure, because that was my first job. I went in. I dressed professionally or what I thought was professional. Now, I know that was business casual, but it’s still pretty professional. Went in, and I was just asked questions.
Interviewer: What set you apart from other candidates?
Round Table Pizza Employee: Well, one thing I know really helped was having the reference. My friend was able to vouch for me that I was a hard worker. I wouldn’t be messing around. I would take it seriously even though it’s just making pizzas and stuff, but still it’s a job. My friend was able to vouch for me. Also, I was a pretty good student, so that also showed that I had good work ethic, even though it’s different; it’s academic. But still, it showed that I had good work ethic. So, high GPA, good reference, I think.
Interviewer: What other advice would you give to a job seeker looking to gain employment?
Round Table Pizza Employee: Prepare a good resume. Make sure the application and resume are perfect – no mistakes. Stuff like that. When you go in, dress professionally even if it’s just a place like Round Table where it’s chain and you won’t be dressing professionally every day. Still, little stuff like that, it helps set you apart from other people
Bryce Martin says:
Do delivery drivers use their own car? Does Round Table pay for gas expenses separately from the paycheck? Is there a time limit you to get a pizza delivered and return to the place?
