I applied online. I interviewed at Taco Bell (Orem, UT) in May 2016
Interview
As always, I was pretty nervous about the interview and making a good fist impression!! But as soon as I had the pleasure of meeting the interviewing/hiring manager, she made me feel so at ease an comfortable with my surroundings and made it such a pleasurable experience, that by the time we were done with the interview it was like I had been talking to an old friend of mine and we were just catching up on life's journey that we've been on. Basically, talking about my past employer's and what my roles were at that particular place.
In person interview with assistant hiring manager for new location in Brighton MI. Standard interview process and standard interview questions. Exactly what you would expect for a retail food service fast food restaurant.
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Taco Bell (Brighton, MA) in Mar 2026
Interview
I was scheduled do have an interview with the regional manager Israel, however when I arrived, he wasn’t there. Instead, I was interviewed by the manager of that location (unfortunately I’ve forgotten her name but she was really nice and cool). She told me about the work and about how that specific location was a fairly easy job. I was asked about my schedule, which I confirmed was open and flexible, and if I would be going on vacation this summer, which I would not be. I was told that Israel would contact me later that day to set up a proper in person interview sometime later. Over a week later I receive an email telling me that they would be hiring someone who “more closely fit their needs.” At no point in the original interview or application process was I asked about my experience, if I had I would have told them that I had over 5 years experience in retail and 2 years experience cleaning kitchens. I tried reaching out to see why I had been rejected when it seemed pretty obvious that the person in charge of hiring wasn’t doing their job properly, and unsurprisingly, I never heard back from Taco Bell.
they called me and i went in. they asked basic questions about customer service, if i used a POS register before, and if i had previous experience in the food industry
