I applied in-person. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Panera Bread in Oct 2007
Interview
It helps a great deal to become familiar with the manager who does the interview before applying for the job. once you create a rapport with the manager you can find out about possible jobs. It is the standard interview, an application and 1:1 interview. Remain professional and friendly and you shouldn't have any issues.

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.
