I applied in-person. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Jack in the Box (Hayward, CA) in Jul 2015
Interview
I filled some papers out the manager asked me a few questions, we laughed. I was really nervous at first because the interview took place inside jack in the box where it was a little bit noisy. We both had to talk loud to hear one another. Also since their where people dinning in they would watch as the interview was going on. Overall the process is pretty straight forward the manager seemed to really like me. I'm guessing it was because of my zodiac sign ; the bull. That's a Taurus if you didn't know and she was a Capricorn an only reason I know that is because In her office there was a board of all the employes birth months on it.
