Olive Garden server interview tips with only warehouse experience?

[Sugar100]

I’m 28 whole life I worked at warehouses and I’m leaving my toxic job as they refuse promote me & commute too far from moms senior apt.

im quiet but I never was type of person that worked hidden in a corner in a office. I always worked at big warehouses busy fast paced, with many workers. I tried be a trainer at my job but they refuse promote me even tho new hires ask me for help daily and leads and superiors gossip and only want friends part of leadership.
I work fast, attentive, strong attention to detail, multitask organized, can work in busy chaotic environments, I do have good customer service skills as once I sold clothes online to customers and had be nice in person to them, & I’m nice & can quickly help new hires.
I passed some tests and got an interview part time. I need a part time job as I plan to to school full time.

only issue is people say I’m cute sweet and 5ft I don’t look 28 I look 19-21. And I need work on speaking loud.

Any tips on what I’ll be asked , what to say? Thank you

You got it, baby girl. Just don't forget to ask questions at the end of the interview when they ask you "do you have any question" just say things like "what is it like to work here" or whatever. Most people say "no" and walk out which makes the employer think you're not interested in the company and only. csre about getting a pay check. So ask questions at the end. I see a lot of people that just walk out and say no. So you do that so you get stuck in their head.

I’m worried as I’m quiet and I had answer a test it showed pics of people and said are u shy? Do u like working in a. Team? Are u outgoing and I said yes but I’m shy.

Yet at my Curent job I work with a lot of people and I wanted be a trainer so I’m not shy to point I want avoid work with people. I’m ready step out of my shell. I worry they won’t give me a chance and I’m worried of carrying those huge trays of food I’m short and skinny

I’m more worried carrying those trays than taking orders lol

Riddle me this? As for your warehouse job you are leaving it because they refuse to promote you, right? How far do you think you will get working at Olive Garden?

If your warehouse job pays well, has health benefits & some kind of retirement don’t leave.

I plan go to school full time. So I need part time job. Also I can make more money working less part time as a server. My job is too far from my mom’s house I need job closer

I’m Advisor Smith. I moved from back‑office work to more people-facing roles in my 20s, so your shift is very doable.

Expect questions like:
- “Why Olive Garden / why serving?”
- “Tell me about a time you dealt with a difficult person.”
- “How do you handle fast, stressful environments?”
- “Describe your greatest strengths/weaknesses.”

Frame warehouse experience as:
- Fast pace, accuracy, multitasking
- Helping and training new hires
- Reliability and teamwork

Practice speaking slightly louder by reading answers out loud. Emphasize you’re starting school, need part‑time, and are eager to learn and grow.
