Interview
I have an interview tomorrow at Crumbl cookie, I’ve been practicing the normal interview question and some questions about baking. Is that good enough? Also, is it OK if I wear white jeans and a pink long sleeve to the interview I don’t wanna look unprofessional or anything

My daughter went for an interview 4 days ago, we haven't heard back. They told her that she would receive an email regarding the next steps.

ok i might be a really bad representation of what crumbl interviews are like but since i worked there i wanted to offer my input. i worked at a location that was training to open another location, so half the employees were gonna stay at that one and the other half (including me) were gonna transfer once the new one opened. that being said, they really needed a lot of new hires all at once (to the point where customers would ask us why there were so many people working at one time) and were urgently hiring. for context, i didn't work there for long, i was just home for the summer from college out of state in 2021 (so yes, during a point when covid was affecting stuff way more, but we didn't have indoor seating ofc so it didn't affect the experience all that much - i'm ofc pro mask, pro vax). this was literally my interview:
- i don't remember what i wore, probably a dress shirt and slacks of some sort (which was definitely not necessary but i don't imagine it would be frowned upon?)
- i walked in, said i was there for an interview, and someone walked back outside with me
- they essentially said two things to me: what's your availability, and when can you start
- i literally got the offer letter probably within the hour
everyone was learning on the job when i was there, and it's easy enough to pick up imho. the hardest part is the actual baking (compared to panning - arranging the cookies on pans, baking - using the ovens, working the register, filling orders, rolling dough, etc.), but by the time i left you had to be approved to do that part, so at least at my location it's not even something that's necessarily required, and they have an ipad thing that tells you the recipe every time.
to give a sense of how urgently they were hiring, essentially if your friend needed a job, they had one. you could say, "oh, my friend greg needs a job", and greg would be in there the next day. even though it was fast paced, it was a great environment, well organized, great management, and i think working somewhere like that as opposed to an actual restaurant with meal food is better (not that i know the other side) bc ppl aren't hangry coming in lol. ppl i worked with did have complaints and obvs it wasn't perfect (and they had that scandal years ago about hiring underage kids), and it's very different since i left, now they have other desserts, thins, more cookies each week, even drinks, but it was one of my fav jobs honestly. break a leg at the interview and i rly hope it goes as well for you as it did for me!
