I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Panera Bread in Jul 2010
Interview
I Filled out an application there at the store and then had a personal interview after I filled it out in the same trip. They haven't called me back yet, it's been about 4 days. I don't have much experience and am only in high school. They liked me but asked if I was willing to cut my hair. I said I would. This was for a new location and they had several people interviewing over the summer.
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.
