Answer:
You should wear something business-casual. Definitely no shorts/jeans. A high wasted skirt with a nice shirt tucked in and a belt, a casual dress, a nice shirt with black leggings or black pants. All of those are good options. They will probably ask you questions like: "Why do you think you would be a good candidate for this job? What are your best qualities? Why should we hire you? Why do you want to work here? What are your strengths/weaknesses?" General get to know you type questions. They are trying to evaluate whether or not you would be a good hire and beneficial to the business. You need to really sell yourself, make sure you emphasize your best qualities- like if you work well under pressure, you're a hard worker, reliable, etc. This website claims to have olive garden interview questions: http://www.mockquestions.com/company/Olive+Garden/topquestions/ Good luck :)

First of all good luck with the interview Assuming olive garden is a restaurant and you are applying for a host, the questions will be based on your hospitality skills, service recovery, team work and flexibility. You may get asked questions like how would you pacify an angry customer? What would you do if its the end of your shift and you see the restaurant is busy? What if you get a call on your day off to cover for an ill colleague. These are just sample questions. Recruiters within hospitality usually look for persons with pleasant personality, can do attitude and willingness to adapt.Why you try visiting a nearby restaurant (similar to oliv garden) and see for your self what hosts do, how the restaurant works, chat one of the staff up and you may get some tip offs (dont tell them you where u r going) Please ensure you wear pleasant but formal colours such as light grey, light blue, biege or white. Wear a shirt tie and trouser, and clean closed shoes, groom your hair and face and keep your nails short and clean. If you are a female a blouse knee length skirt or full trousers, scarve tied around neatly, manicured nails and closed shoes. Hair to be neatly tied away from the face and very light make up on the face. Hope this helps and good luck for tomorrow.
