I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Panera Bread (Alameda, CA) in Apr 2013
Interview
Walked in with my resume and dropped it off with the assistant manager, who directed me to the website for their application. Completed the application and got a call about a week later to come in the very next morning for an interview. My interviewer comes out late and walks over to another lady who apparently interviewed before me, and offers her a job. Real classy, Panera.
I applied online. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Panera Bread (Norcross, GA) in May 2012
Interview
I came during lunch rush, and was sat down by another worker. Everyone was friendly and nice and they even offered me a drink. After about 5 mins, the manager came out. She was very sweet. This interview was simple. She just went over my resume with me and then had me fill out a whole bunch of papers. Then the next day i went to bread bash and started working there in 2 days.
I interviewed at Panera Bread (Atlanta, GA) in Mar 2013
Interview
I applied online a year ago. Never got a call I due to lack of experience. Got a years worth of retail under my belt and reapplied online. I ended up going in requesting an interview. They called back and I went in. The manager didn't ask much. Just if I plan on staying there for a good while. I said yes. Other than that he said he liked my resume. Offered me the job on the spot.
