Interview
I recently had an interview for a Crew Member position and it was pretty unprofessional. The guy who interviewed me clearly did not have much experience interviewing people, he forgot my name twice and even asked me what my name was during the interview he also spoke very quietly to the point where I had a hard time hearing him. He waited until he was done asking questions to tell me that location was looking more to hire Grill Cooks so he basically wasted my time interviewing me for a position they weren't hiring for.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Would you be willing to work as a Grill Cook instead?
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.
