      Event Coordinator Interview

      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Kansas City, MO
      No offer
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Main Event in Jan 2013

      Interview

      Th Sales Manager responded promtly and got me in for an interview as soon as possible . The interview was fairly easy and I could tell she was mostly looking for personality traits. Within two days I was asked back for a 2nd interview with the General Manager. The General Manager was more aggressive and almost insulting in his questioning. I got the feeling that I didn't want to work for him.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Would I consider myself to be uptight? It was difficult because I couldn't believe I was being asked if I fit into that label. Who wants to admit to being uptight on an interview. One would rather say that they are disciplined. he negative connotation threw me off.

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Main Event (Kansas City, MO) in Mar 2025

      Interview

      Meeting was with the location's sales manager. Sat in the commons area before opening hours. Interview was simple and quick. Mediocre text based communication in the setup process for the initial meeting and no communication since the interview.

      Interview

      Long and difficult. They were very unclear about expectations/salary. Come to find out it is barely above minimum wage for an “admin” position. Waste of time. Would not recommend ! Can tell they pay other positions badly if not worse.

      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Main Event in Aug 2020

      Interview

      Generally unimpressed with the interview process, and it was was very unorganized. A phone interview was scheduled first; however, 15 minutes before I received an email saying the hiring manager "had lost track of time" and needed to reschedule the interview. They were willing to reschedule, so I was understanding and fine with this. When I had the opportunity to speak with the hiring manager, the conversation was all over the place. They were unable to explain to me the daily tasks -- only that the job involved answering phones and directing calls. Going in, I understood there would be some cross-training/ unpredictable daily tasks due to new operations and the COVID-19 pandemic, but the extremely vague job description I was given on the phone interview did not line up with the job I thought I was interviewing for. The job description should have more clearly updated to reflect these responsibilities before posting on their website. At the end of the interview, it was described they would only be contacting me if they were interested in moving forward. After thinking more about this unprofessional statement, I decided I would not want to work for a company that believed in 'ghosting' candidates whether I was to advance or not. After taking the time out of multiple days (due to the reschedule) the idea that it was too difficult for the employer to complete a simple, quick task such as sending a follow-up email speaks volumes about their work culture and how employees are treated, if hired.

      Question 1

      Tell me about yourself? Are you willing to work weekends and holidays? What do you look for in a company?
