I applied online. I interviewed at Tim Hortons (Winnipeg, MB) in Aug 2019
Interview
I had been applying at Tims for quite some time before I was called for an interview so I'm not exactly sure how long the process took; I would guess about a month or two. When they called me and I asked where the location was, they mentioned an address/street that I have never applied to before so I was unsure if it was far and whatnot. Anyways, I went in for an "interview." That interview was nothing special at all. I made myself ready for all the questions they were gonna ask me like "why do you want to work here" and whatnot but that was not the case. The manager just asked me 2 questions. Not complaining or anything, it was just unexpected because it wasn't an interview at all.
Straightforward and simple questions like tell me about yourself, why this job and what is your greatest strength and weakness. How do you handle stressful situations? Questions may differ by location.
The process was easy. They asked basic questions, had me complete paperwork, and assigned laptop-based tasks. After finishing the assignments, they began the training process and explained the job responsibilities.
I had a referral from a friend who had just started working there. I booked an interview with the manager soon after. Interview was approximately 10-15 minutes long and was asked the typical interview questions. I was hired on the spot.
