I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Chipotle (Garland, TX) in Jan 2014
Interview
I filled out an application online and they called me in for an interview the next day. The first interview I had was with the apprentice, and she told she would contact after the rest of her interviews. I was contacted later that day for my second interview a week later. The second interview was just with a crew member, I was told the same thing and they called me right after and I finally met the General Manager and she was excited to meet me, and she offered me a job ten minutes into the interview.

Interview
