QUESTION 10 OF 40

Walk me through your experience working in the food and beverage industry.

The interviewer wants to learn more about your background and experience regarding hospitality or the food and beverage industry. If you don't have any work experience, it's okay! Tell the interviewer that you do not have any experience in the industry; however, you look forward to making the transition and learning everything you can about customer service and hospitality.

If you have related work experience, give an overview of your background by sharing where you have worked, your job title, and how long you were employed. Add a sentence or two about your job duties. Highlight your passion for the industry, and mention that you look forward to expanding your experience by joining Panera Bread.

"While I was attending high school, I worked as a part-time host at Restaurant ABC. Once I graduated high school, I was able to take on a few more shifts and worked full time as a host and a busser over the summer. In total, I worked for the establishment for a year and a half. I am now looking for a position that allows for early morning shifts since I am returning to school and would like a schedule that works well with my college class times."
