Central Market interview questions

The interview process here is very different. There is a brief phone screening and then your told to come in for a group interview of about 15 people. There was about 6 managers in a panel in front watching us. Don't be nervous, the panel participates and interacts with the interviewees rather than just sitting there and were all very nice. The group was about 2 hours, so it was pretty long, but I found it enjoyable for an interview. First they told us to recreate our resume using craft supplies. Next, we had to identify 12 food items on a table. I only got 5 right, but unless you apply to work in food demos or something this part didn't really matter. Next, we had to solve a customer service scenario in pairs of 2. We then were each given a food item and had to do a 30 second "commercial" on why someone should buy this item. Don't just talk about the item. Be creative. They are mostly looking for creative, outgoing people to join the team. I left the group interview and about 5 minutes later I got called by the meat market asking for a 1 on 1. The one on one was not really an interview. It was basically signing forms, telling me what to expect in the position, salary, etc.

Group interview in which you knowledge to be creative, food knowledge, and team work was evaluated. You evaluated by department managers who will ask you question and you have to make sure you stand out.
