I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Panera Bread in Nov 2011
Interview
I applied online at Panera Bread.com not even thinking they would call me cause I didn't know if they were hiring or not. 2 days later a manager called to set up an appointment with me. Went in for the interview and he didn't even ask questions. Just asked my availability and how much did I want to get paid. The next day they called and offered me a job. I accepted.
I interviewed at Panera Bread (Virginia Beach, VA)
Interview
The manager that took care of my interview was amazing. Asked me questions like why I wanted to work there, my strengths, my weaknesses, what does warmth mean to me, what i would do in certain situations.
In Annapolis there were 2 interviews they asked me why I wanted to work there my pass experience in previous job & my availability honestly it was relatively easy and they were down to earth
it was a good process and they asked for my background and any other relevant expericen. They were very welcoming and allowed me to talk about my past and ask as many questions as i had.
