Answer 3

I work at a restaurant chain similar to Olive Garden and they asked me a lot about my past jobs and what kind of interactions I've had with people. The one thing they focused a lot on was "merchandising" a menu item (using descriptive words to sell it) and making it sound as appealing as possible.
