The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Panera Bread (San Jose, CA) in Mar 2012
Interview
I first applied to the job online and waited about a week to receive call back. I received the call and scheduled an interview. Once there they asked simple questions such as what you can bring to the table at Panera Bread, or questions about your former job. He also asked if I could make deliveries but I declined because you have to take your own car unless they have a delivery van. The whole interview was very short and only lasted about 10 minutes.
