I applied online. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Panera Bread (Houston, TX) in Nov 2010
Interview
The guy was really nice, friendly. He asked me to tell him about myself and asked if I'm and school and about my schedule. He also asked what type of foods I like and if I've tried their food. It was a great interview, I felt very comfortable. He said that I was definately one of the people they were going to hire. He asked about my availability and talked to me about the training. He said that he would call in a few days to set things up. I never got a call back
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.
