I interviewed at Chipotle (Las Vegas, NV) in Jan 2014
Interview
I submitted an application online to three different locations. One location told me that they weren't going to go further with my application. The second location said they were having a job fair. I attended and was placed in a group interview, They asked "What are you passionate about?" and "Why Chipotle?" After that, they had a separate interview with each of us. They asked more questions about us and our schedule. They then told me they would email me or call me for a second interview. A few days passed and I received and email for a second interview. The second interview was the next day. I sat down with the Kitchen managers of chipotle and they asked me questions like, "Are you able to work at Chipotle? It is very hard. It gets loud and busy" and "Why do you want to work for Chipotle?, Do you want to be here long?" After the initial interview they told me they were going to speak to their General Manager. About five minutes later they offered me a job.
I applied online. I interviewed at Chipotle (Bixby Knolls, CA) in Jul 2026
Interview
The interview was pretty easy, but I had to wait 30 to 40 minutes after my interview was scheduled to be interviewed. Inside the Chipotle, it was extremely hot and really uncomfortable, but other than that, the interview was pretty easy. But I haven’t heard back, as I was supposed to get a call on Sunday.

Question 1
They mainly asked me for my availability throughout the week, if I’m able to work weekends, what my good and bad qualities were, and that’s pretty much it and hobbies.
Easy, straight forward questions. Started as a group interview and ended up being offered the job along with 2 other people. It was very casual and no pressure. Interviewer was friendly.
