There's a little ceasers right by my house.
The sign spinning guy doesn't spin shit, he just yells at people as they walk by.
"Hey you! Buy a pizza!"
 
try this

Don't be thrown by some of their questions like, "How many pies can fit inside the Sistine Chapel and how fast can you deliver them?"
 
fun fact. if you get a pepperoniz pizza by them and bring it home add some of your own toppings and then toss it back in the oven for another 15 minutes at 425 you get some wicked awesome pizza. and garlic
 
Much like the Microsoft hiring process, their questions are tricky and will ask you to think of outside-the-pizza-box thinking.

Don't be surprised to hear questions like "Why are pizzas round?"
 
Strangely enough, if you're second guessing a Little Caesar's interview, you may just not be Little Caesar's material.
I'm not really against the job. I'm only skeptical of the entire job climate (but as someone pointed out, it might not even be true).
 
I love this thread title for some reason. Just don't bring up the Bigfoot pizza, lot of bad memories at Caesars about that.

On a serious note, just show up, dress nicely, and you'll do fine. It's not a career position, unlike some might lead you to believe, so just show up on time, don't steal, and do your best. You'll have fun occassionally and be treated poorly at times. You'll meet some cool people. It's money and discounted pizza...Could be worse. Build a job history and stay at least 6 months to 1 year..
 
Pizza Delivery was honestly one of the most fun jobs I had as a youth. Minus the shitty neighborhoods and the lack of tips. The job was super laid back and I got to cruise around listening to music all day. I only got shot once.

Does Little Caesar's even do delivery? If they do ask to be the delivery guy.

Don't be the sign flipping dude. Everybody hates that guy.

Thanks.

I also got one more important question. How should I bring up education? In the past, a lot of interviewers wouldn't take me if I was planning on going to school. But at the same time, they ask "what's in your future?".

Tell them you want to retire with Little Caesar's and ask about their 401k options.
 
Just keep slipping in "Pizza! Pizza!" every few sentences...

Then tell them how much you love Mike Illitch, the Detroit Tigers, the Detroit Red Wings, and how the Little Caesar's pizza at the Joe is somehow the best ever. You'll be hired in no time!
 
Dress to impress OP, remember first impressions are everything!

A firm handshake let's them know you mean business.

Make sure to sell yourself as best you can, make thk n want to invest in you as a potential employee.

They may ask you questions such as:
"Why should we hire you over someone else?"
or
"What makes you the ideal person for the position?"
or
"Why do you want to work for us?"

Keep your answers respectful and believable, don't overdo it and give them some BS answers that you think they want to hear. Remember, honesty over flattery.

Good luck OP. Let us know it goes!
 
The first real job I had. I told my friend I was interested in looking for a job so he asked the manager at the Little Caesars where he worked. One day I get a phone call from my friend asking if I can come in that day to meet the manager. I was at my high school Halloween party dressed as a ninja and he told me to come in as is. So the first time the manager met me I was dressed in costume and we chatted a bunch. He told me to come in to work without having a real application or interview process.

So yeah I guess it really just depends. My boss was chill. He took me paintballing a bunch and we still talk on occasion. I think if you're applying full time your odds are pretty good. The store I worked at had a bunch of teens who were always wanting to get off early or never wanted to cover for anyone and it became such an annoyance that some policies were changed regarding hours. If you say you want hours then they'll give them to you with the job.
 
OP, just don't show up in super casual clothes (eg. sweats and t-shirt). I work at a movie theater atm and this girl came in wearing sweats and a hoodie for her interview.

Other than that, just act polite and answer the questions they give you. Considering the place they probably aren't too picky. You should be fine.

Just be careful with the "How committed are you to Little Caesar's?" section of the interview.
Not relevant to the thread (and probably an incredibly stupid thing to ask), but how do you answer the "how committed are you?" questions. I'm looking for a new job and I feel like I'd say something honest or something that could be seen as a bad thing.
 
If they ask "Have you ever done drugs", do not answer. "Why, what do you need?".

Wear a polo and khakis, be respectful and ask questions about the pizza making process but not too many, and you're in.
 
Congratulations on making it past the first stage of Little Caesar's hiring process! Getting this far already proves you're ahead of the game.

First of all, you should dress to impress. This means wearing a shirt that has buttons on it. You should also tuck that shirt into your pants by putting the lower edge inside the waistband of your pants and using a belt to make sure your pants stay in place during the interview.

It's a good idea to bring an extra copy of your resume or some sort of paper that has your relevant information written down. Even if you already submitted an application form, it's a good idea to have your own copy of this information on hand. If they want to hire you they may need such things as your social security number, your current address and phone number, phone numbers for personal references and specific dates of your employment history, if any.

You may be given a short quiz during your interview over topics such as safety standards and personal ethics. Remember that employers want to see a 'team player', but they also want someone who plays by the rules. Answer your questions with a mindset of having a high moral standard, which may include saying that you would report a co-worker who you caught stealing from the company or violating a health and safety standard. Remember also that you should follow the established chain of command when making these reports, starting with your closest manager, as you might also be asked who you would report to in that situation.

During your interview smile and be personal. Answer the questions concisely but don't be afraid to show your personality and character to the interviewer. The interviewer is not just choosing an employee, he or she is choosing someone who will represent their store to customers and someone who he or she will have to work with on a daily basis. Little Caesar's wants the best of the best, make them comfortable in knowing that you're exactly that.

When your interview is finished, you may not be hired on the spot but can still be hired over the phone or in a second interview later. Thank the interviewer for their time and leave the story with confidence. It's a good idea to write a business-appropriate 'thank you' note after an interview the following day so that you stay fresh in the interviewer's mind.

Relax, be confident, and remember to treat yourself after the interview! No matter how it goes, good or bad, plan out a small reward for taking this big step. That way during the interview you will have something to look forward to.
 
What position are you applying for?

a) The guy who spins the signs outside
b) delivery guy
c) pizza artist
d) management

You don't get to pick any of those, you basically switch positions every hour or so, or when they need you to do something else.

Also, there is no delivery (at least in my area).

Worked there very early, when I was like 15 something years old. The interview was no biggie, not even questions about myself or anything psychological. They just took my information, told me the basic rules and processes, got my food license the next day and started working soon after. Pretty basic stuff, nothing complicated. I'd say it's one of the easier food places to work at. Not many people order different food items. I was just basically making pepperoni pizzas all day.
 
If its anything like the hiring process at Domino's, they've already decided to hire you, and the interview is just to make sure you're not a weirdo or a fuck-up. Congrats on the new job.
 
Don't wear a suit

Maybe not a suit, but DO dress up to at least "date-level" niceness. Wear, say, a dress shirt and slacks. It may sound dumb but I've been outright sent home during an interview for dressing in jeans. Even if its a pizza joint, if you want the job, show that you're willing to put in effort.

And when prompted if you have any questions, ASK QUESTIONS. Even if you don't have any, make some up. "What's your favorite part of working here?" is always an easy one to ask that shows interest. DON'T ask about pay though. Google good questions to ask on an interview and you'll be set.

Good luck!

Am I an asshole for laughing at this?
 
If you don't have a MD from John Hopkins University, or a JD from Cambridge, or have graduated summa cum laude with a double honors in Math & Physics from Harvard, don't even bother applying. You're just gonna waste your time, OP.

It would help, a little bit, if you also won a Nobel Prize (preferably in Physics, Chemistry, or Physiology).
 
I used to be a shift supervisor for Little Caesars at a location outside of Toronto, and let me tell you it was the worst job I have ever had.

Hopefully, your experience will be much different.

I experienced employee theft, high turnover, a drill sergeant manager who only cared about sales and NOTHING else, and I was making next to nothing. I only took the job because I had to, and ended up quitting six weeks following my hire date when I found something else.

Again, I hope you're experience is different. I still buy from them and enjoy their food.

EDIT: Sorry, this answer wasn't on topic at all.

I was brought in for an interview by the HR rep for the area, and he conducted the interview in a coffee shop down the street from the location I'd be working at. After that interview, I was taken to the franchisee and was shown the pizza making process, which is actually very impressive and is a very effective assembly line. I was impressed. I also had to go to an orientation during which we watched several safety videos and training videos, then had free Little Caesars to eat. Following that, a week of training, and learning the Hot & Ready schedule for each day of the week and each day's day part. Was actually quite a lot to learn and I had to learn fast, and keep up pace (it was a very busy location, situated between a school and a recreation centre.)

Is it called Little Caesars up there or Pizza Pizza? Cuz that's what the cartoon says.
 
Haha I remember a few years ago, Bed Bath and Beyond had a pre-interview interview. An interview in order to get an interview.

I went through 4 interviews to get hired at Best Buy.

A phone interview, a quick in person interview with a supervisor, a longer interview with a manager, and finally an interview with the GM where I was offered the job.
