I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at The Cheesecake Factory in May 2010
Interview
You are asked typical STAR interview questions. After the first interview, if they like you, they usually will conduct a second interview on the spot. This interview consists of a book in which they essentially give you a personality test. They will give you a score and you must pass it in order to be awarded an offer. It is very easy to pass. Make sure that you tell them you've always seen yourself in the hospitality industry because you have that outgoing personality.
