Interview - Olive Garden @ Woodbridge Mall, NJ

The Olive Garden has always been one of my favorite Italian Restaurant Chains. It’s ranked right up there with Bertucci’s and Romano’s Macaroni Grill. The Olive Garden by far has the best wine menu of the three. I was ecstatic when I received a call from the manager, John, requesting an interview for a bartending position. Shortly thereafter, I was on the Olive Garden website reviewing their beverages. Not surprisingly, their wine selection is almost exclusively from Italy, It doesn’t get any more authentic than this.

The Olive Garden also has a wide selection of specialty mixed drinks, frozen drinks, smoothies, beer, and Italian soda & cream drinks. They can be found following this link http://www.olivegarden.com/Menu/Beverages/

In order to prepare for the interview I am reviewing and memorizing the menu, practicing my basic drinks and researching the history of the store. More importantly, I am preparing a list of questions to ask. Like when is happy hour? Is there a trivia night? Live music? Ladies’ night? Contests/giveaways? Game night? I’m thinking this interview won’t be so bad. The only thing I'm worried about is the “specialty coffees.” Will he ask me to prepare an espresso, macchiato, cappuccino, latte? My friend who works in Starbucks never did get around to helping me with this. Wish me luck!
