I’ve applied to this big restaurant conglomerate 5 times in various capacities over the years. Each time I don’t get the job for one reason or another. For example, one time they took someone internal and another time I applied right when they offered to another person (but the hiring manager said that I was a great candidate but I applied slightly too late). I feel like somehow I’m not lucky with this company. I’ve gotten other jobs so it’s not me… anyone else had this type of experience?

Yes! I applied for a restaurant close to me and was always just a little off from getting the job. They had just hired someone else, they were pausing it, etc. I was working and had no problem going somewhere else. I have wondered if it was me or them having a poor hiring process.

Yes. Applied to a local restaurant for their executive chef position twice. First time they went with a chef who worked at a Michelin star restaurant. Totally understood why. A few.months later the position is up again. I apply. Interview with the owner who said she remembered me and seemed super excited. Never heard back. That position has come up probably 5 times since they opened up and it hasn't been a year. 😬😬

Friend of mine was supposed to receive an offer (told verbally) from Deloitte and then just found out they are pausing on hiring the role. How common is that? Seems wildly unprofessional that none of the partners called and instead it was the recruiter conveying that news. At McKinsey, if that happened, the head of the practice or the office would personally make the phone call at the very least.

So I work as an assistant manager at a restaurant for the past 9 months. I've worked in restaurants for the past 6 years science I was 16. Now I'm 22. I went to a trade school for media and film. I got a dream opportunity to work in the field making about the same or 10% more. I told myself the only reason I'd leave this company is for this type of job. Should I take the chance at this job and leave the restaurant that is on the rise and growing?

In Iowa, there is no Overtime pay mandate, the overtime pay is at the discretion of the business. I received 58.6 hours of base pay for the week.

If the company makes less than $1 million per year or does not engage in intercontinental sales, the company is not required to pay the overtime rate of time and a half, just your base rate.
