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 online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Panera Bread (Lancaster, PA) in Aug 2011
Interview
I filled out an application online. I got a call a few days later from the general manager to schedule an interview. Had an interview with the GM and got hired on the spot.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
There were a lot of situational questions. "what would you do if...?" "How did you handle this...?"
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.
