I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Panera Bread in Oct 2011
Interview
I applied online and a few weeks later I was called on the phone for an interview. The interview was set up for the very next day. I went in the store and told the cashier that I had an interview and she offered me a drink and showed me where to sit while she went to grab the manager. The interview process basically just consisted of one of the assistant managers going over the application with me and just asking me general questions to get a feel for my personality. The interview process usually consists of 2 interviews with 2 different managers before you are offered a position but my interviewing manager liked me a lot and hired me on the spot.

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.
