I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Chipotle (Saint Petersburg, FL) in Jan 2014
Interview
I walked in 15 minutes early and went up to the cashier. I told him I was there for an interview. Apparently people don't normally show up early because they had no idea what to do with me. They told me to sit down and wait. Waited 30 minutes instead of 15-20 and it only made me more nervous. The interview went ok and all the questions were normal.
Asked questions about what positions work best for you, why you want to work there, what makes you a good fit there, where you see yourself in 5 years. Very simple and open to answer any questions I had
I applied online. I interviewed at Chipotle (Los Angeles, CA) in May 2026
Interview
Very brief, was only asked a few questions. I felt a decision about not hiring me was made before the interviewer even sat down. I suspect the interviewer was not accustomed to interviewing and may actually only standing in for a manager that was not working that day
The interview process included an application, attending a brief in-person interview, answering questions about teamwork, availability, customer service, and attitude, and was sometimes followed by a same-day or quick hiring decision.
