Secrets to impressing their recruiters
"Do your homework. Take the time to learn about the company's history. Visit one of our restaurants and try a current food promotion. Speak to one of our employees to understand a little bit about our culture. Take advantage of your school's alumni club/network to reach out to a current employee and seek their advice." --Andy Snitz, vice president, Darden talent acquisition
