So I just finished a job interview at a bar. I applied to be a cook.
The interview was very odd to me. When I go there, we shook hands introduced ourselves normally, Then, he asked me how much I wanted to work, time available to start, times preferred to work, and asked about pay.
After that, he basically just gave me a rundown of the job. Told me it was fairly easy, and that as long as I showed up and was willing to work any part of the kitchen I'd be good. He said it was a pretty laid back place.
Then he asked if I had any questions, told me he'd be hiring one person for sure this week and more in the near future. He said he'd contact me no later than Wednesday and that was it.
No questions about me, my experience, character or anything. I tried to say some stuff about my old job here and there that would make me good for this, but I really didn't get much chance to say a lot.
Have I been bamboozled? Or is it just an easy interview for an easy job?

That usually means they're desperate. They'll take anybody.

Hate to say this but most likely he already has decided who to hire. Guy gave you the interview out of courtesy.

i once walked into a restaurant, said my friend matt (The barback) said they were hiring. they said they are hiring busboys. they immediately gave me a shirt and an application. that was it.
bars arent known for really good food. its assumed you can figure out how to cook a patty or fry some fries. its mostly pre made stuffm nothings really from scratch.
so when they do interviews its mostly to get a feel for you. letting you talk would interfere, they want to see how you react to a fast paced setting. and that interview was that.
good luck either way.

I had a fast food job where all I had to do was send an email saying I was interested, then the GM when I came to meet her came out and laid out the rules, and made appointment with me to fill out paperwork. Had that job for 5 months.
It happens. Sometimes they just need people right away and don't care about letting the person get jittery.

They ask about all that stuff to see if you can fit in their schedule
The first month or even weeks or maybe couple of days will be your trial.
Owners of bars are typicallyn good judges of characters (or so they think) so your first impression is more important than CV
This isn't a management position at the institute of foreign affairs. It's just a fucking food creator position.
If you flunk or fail there are millions more to take your place.

You don't need an abundance of character or experience to melt cheese and cook french fries in a bar.
If you weren't insane, you showered, and you showed up on time that was probably good enough for him.
