I applied in-person. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at IHOP (Lake Havasu City, AZ) in Jun 2011
Interview
The interview process was minimal. I went in on their interview day and filled out an application. That day I had an initial interview with the assistant manager who asked about my experience. She was very positive and asked that I come back on a different day. I then had an interview with the store manager who asked me only a few questions. She didn't even look at my application because it wasn't until three months later that she found out that I had my bachelor's degree.
