I applied in-person. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Jimmy John's (Greenville, NC) in Jan 2015
Interview
After returning an application I was interviewed by the owner/manager which I believe went well and he seems very interested in hiring me. One thing that was stressed was "if you say you're going to do something, then do it". Afterwards he said he would be in touch the following week; I never heard from him, so I contacted him and was once again told he would contact me the following week. Of course this was repeated again twice more. My thing "if you say you're going to call me then ..." I grew weary of making those promised calls and resolved myself that he was incapable of adhering to his own policies and I have lost nothing.
so hard but i dont think my experience or lack of really helped me in the process. didn't know my condiments well at all either so that probably hurt me a little bit
Asked for my past experience in food service industry and my education background. Everything was pretty straight forward and it was a pleasant interview experience. The manager told me the starting pay and how I can advance, I also spoke with people that were there longer.
Very easy, Just simple questions, and was a very brief offer. Was offered a position on the spot. Just go in with an open mind, very negotiable with pay, and great staff.
