I applied through other source. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Five Guys in Mar 2014
Interview
I saw their ad on craigslist and sent in my resume. Took about 3 weeks for them to give me a call about an interview the next day at 8am. There were 2 others being interviewed at that time but one on one. I felt confident because I had open availability and cashier experience. It wasn't until I saw their job listing again the day after my interview that I knew I didn't get the job. The interviewer was nice and easy to talk to.
