I was hired at red lobster. My friend was a hostess there, and I became a hostess pretty quickly. After working at Brandon Red Lobster, I had to transfer to Lakeland red lobster. I met with the GM there and he was happy to have me. I then went to Longhorn in Lakeland and had a one on one conversation with the GM.

I had worked for Darden before, at Olive Garden specifically, and that process was the easiest interview process I've ever experienced (was hired immediately following my first interview). Longhorn's interview process was probably the most excessive, considering the line of work. In total, I had four interviews, all in person, and all taking less than 15 minutes (excluding delays within interview because the manager had to keep getting pulled to help out). Two of the interviews were with one manager, then the other interviews were with different managers. All basically asked the same questions. Frankly, even though the process was easy, their process of interviewing felt excessive.
