I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Panera Bread (Lexington-Fayette, KY) in Apr 2011
Interview
Very brief casual interview with Gm. Offered you a drink. Asked general questions about customer service background how you handled conflict. If you had any questions about the process.
Asked if you would like to come back and work in a position for a few hours to see if you would like the job
Pretty easy process, usually only have two interviews. They typically ask about previous job experiences and how you handle conflict. One with the DM and another with the RM. Both were done virtually but can also be completed in person.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How do you handle conflict between two team member that need to work in close prox?
A recruiter reached out to me, before telling me what company the posting was specifically for he insisted on “re-working” my resume, but removed my most recent relevant experience and filled it with buzz words. I either from the process after my first phone interview with the recruiter because he was making the process convoluted and difficult.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why do you think you would be a good fit? (Recruiter had reached out to me hasn’t told me what company the role was with yet, just sent a vague description)
I applied online. I interviewed at Panera Bread (Burnsville, MN)
Interview
It was professional and casual at the restaurant. Easy to talk with the recruiter. I didn't ultimately choose it at the time but it was pleasant enough. I think they hire from within and I was hoping to start as a GM
