Poll of the Day > Firehouse Subs Job Interview in T-minus 3 hours.

(+) Yeah! (+)

I just realized that I don't have a belt, the last one I had was old and ragged and eventually just broke. It's not too noticeable if I wear my suit jacket, but if I just wear the dress shirt and tie it looks really weird. I guess this means I'm wearing a suit to a job interview at Firehouse Subs.

Why dude

You don't need to get all dressed up

Maybe I can try and go buy one in time.

Hey, I forgot my belt today, too
It's ok :(

It's firehouse subs. Polo and jeans is good enough.

When I interviewed for fast food jobs, I would wear a button down and jeans w/ the sleeves rolled up and it wasn't tucked in. Just make sure the shirt fits well and isn't baggy/too long if you're not tucking it in.

Or, grab a black shoelace and use that. They'll think you're a modern day Macgyver

Brace yourself for at least one more in the event that I do or do not get the job.

How do you get by without a belt? >_>

Probably won't hurt him, though. Plus if you're ever in doubt, it's better to play it safe.

Should have kept a central "Watch me get a job" topic, mang

I'm surprised they just don't go. Hello, can you speak english? Can you read? Are you a hard core drug addict? No?...Your hired.

Pocket square: yay or nay?

Dude, just grab a t-shirt and jeans, shave, make sure you have nothing in your teeth, and your done.

No belt? Just tuck your T-shirt into your pants, should keep em up.

lol this guy is purposely goofing

Bump your other fucking bullshit topic with this nonsense.

Jesus regularly told his apostles to shut the fuck up and stop bothering him with their bullshit.

Just use twine.
Also, be sure to mention that nothing gives you greater joy than shoving meat into all manner of buns and you'll be in for sure.

but for real fast food places dont require professional attire. just dont look like a greasy slob and you should be fine. essentially you're already "hired" so long as the interview isnt really terrible. which would be hard to do.

Seems like bad advice, even if it is just good service. Khakis and polo seem like the bare minimum for a job interview.

I was going to admonish you for not being Christ-like, but that other guy beat me to it.

God damnit!!

You want to wear a pocket square to Firehouse Subs looool

you're a goof, straight up
---

Good luck and I'll send some positive energy your way. I belt would be nice if you have time to get it, plus I'm sure you'll have other reasons to use it, so not a waste of money. But like someone else said you could probably get by with some nice pants and shirt. A suit might be a little too dressy for the position. Just be sure you smile because that is what they like to see.

Can't wait to hear that you got the job!

Um, I worked at a few fast food places when I was in my late teens, while going to a trade school during the day etc. I also have known many people that have worked at them. Heck even interviewing for Starbucks (which I would classify a bit higher then most fast food as far as required attire), still doesn't really need you to dress up.

You can, but as someone who has actually hired people for many positions (Even when I was 19 and working at Carl's Jn), as long as you don't look homeless (and even then, we had 2 homeless people working for us at Carl's jnr, one of which was seasonal (we would hire him back each year), your set.

Focus on more important things, like making a good impression with your personality, experience you have in the field, how you will treat customers. Be ready to answer questions about specific situations that may come up etc.

All that will make a much larger difference then how well you dress up, past a certain point of course. If you have saggy pants and look like your a wannabe rapper or something, that is a different story. IF you look like an average person who walks into Firehouse subs, your fine.

Is this guy still pretending to not be Carlisle? He mentioned in the other topic that he's fat and he worked fast food before, and getting way too excited for a fast food interview and overdressing totally sounds like a Carlisle thing.

Just wear a polo shirt over some jeans, untucked. Solves two problems at once: You aren't overdressing, and you can cover up the fact you don't have a belt.

Yeah, I think I should be fine in that department so long as I don't have a brain fart or something. I've already got my answers planned out for the whole "what's your best/worst quality" deal. I think I'll do good in the interview.

I'm not, and being fat and having worked fast food are hardly uncommon traits. And I'm an enthusiastic person, sue me.

Good luck!

Ghirahim sucks. Skyward Sword is the worst Zelda game. The Hunchback of Notre Dame is not only the worst Disney Movie but, quite possibly, the worst piece of literature ever. What say you?

Eh, there are worse Zelda villains. Zant and Majora are better though.Rockies posted...

Worst 3D one maybe, but while the likes of PH and ST exist you can hardly call it the worst overall.Rockies posted...

The Hunchback of Notre Dame is not only the worst Disney Movie but, quite possibly, the worst piece of literature ever.

The movie is certainly mediocre and would be in the running for worst Disney movie, but the novel is good.

tbh, all most retailers and food service providers are looking for is somebody who can show up sober and on time when they're scheduled and not slag off too much.

I say stop accusing him of being Carl. That gag has run its course.

No, it wouldn't even bottom-10. Maybe if the cut-off was 90s+ it might bottom 10, though.

Just finished the interview, they said they said they would call back applicants who got the job at the beginning of next week.

How do you feel it went?

wtf, the candidate selection process should be quick af for a fast food joint. They actin' like they went through dozens of potential hires

I think it went pretty well, I'm only iffy on one point: Guy said that they were big on smiling and being friendly to customers. I tried to smile during the interview but I'm not sure I did it enough, so that might hurt my standing.

He did mention that they were looking for people who could work on weekends and night shifts during the weekdays and I feel I really hammered in my availability in that regard, so I'm hopeful. Probably could've stressed the night shift experience more than I did, but I think it's fine.

He said he had a few other interviews today.

Dude you're treating this interview likes its a job with a law firm or something. Its fast food. Drug addicts get jobs at places like this.

At a place like that, open availability is the most important thing
