Applying to be a Hooters Girl: The Interview

So I had my interview, and it was (shockingly, I know) just like any other job interview you'll have. I got there about 20 minutes early because I accidentally left WAY too early trying to avoid traffic, so I just sat in the parking lot for a while trying to think of any and all questions I might be asked. Honestly, it went nothing like I thought it would.
Originally when I went in to ask for an application, they told me that they only take online applications now - so that was a (semi) wasted 30 minute trip. I went home and filled out the online application, where you put in basic info and attach a picture of yourself. They gave me a call the next day, and we scheduled my interview for three days from then. I was so excited and SO nervous! How should I do my hair and makeup? What is someone supposed to wear to a hooters interview?! I opted for perfectly natural and bright-eyed flawless makeup, but choosing the right outfit was the hard part. Honestly, I think after reading so many blogs about what to wear to a hooters interview is what threw me off so much. I settled for a slightly low cut nice tank top, a burgundy cardigan, and black stretchy pants with pockets. I wanna say they're leggings/jeggings (wow I hate that word), but they were more like stretchy black skinny dress pants. But yeah, all that with some nice Vera Wang booties. It is October after all, and I wanted to dress trendy according to the season.
The interview itself was super short - I waited to speak with the manager longer than the interview lasted! Which, let's be honest here, was quite a relief. I was asked only a small handful of questions; why Hooters? What is your availability? What does safely serving alcohol mean to you? I think part of the reason why it was so short was because I had pretty decent answers, he said I already answered most of the questions before he had a chance to even ask them haha. In all, the interview couldn't have lasted more than 10 minutes. It was laid back, comfortable, and just gave me another reason to want to work there!
