The interview was Very quick and easy. They asked Typical questions for hospitality businesses. The employer who interviewed me was very kind and inviting and did not make the process intimidating at all.
I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Panera Bread (Columbus, OH) in Aug 2012
Interview
I was hired to a location before they opened. I had a difficult time locating the hiring trailer, as it was in an area with a lot of construction and the trailer was poorly marked. Once I found the hiring trailer, I walked in and filled out an application. The lady asked me a few quick questions about my school and my willingness to comply with the dress code. After that, I was hired on the spot and scheduled for training.
Asked questions regarding food safety and why I wanted the job , also discussed how my schedule would look if I were to get the job. I was then told I would be given a call regarding the decision whether I got the job or not
Great process very easy and they really try and fast track the hiring process. It is usually with a couple of the managers who will be overseeing your day to day.
