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 interviewed at Panera Bread (Virginia Beach, VA)
Interview
The manager that took care of my interview was amazing. Asked me questions like why I wanted to work there, my strengths, my weaknesses, what does warmth mean to me, what i would do in certain situations.
In Annapolis there were 2 interviews they asked me why I wanted to work there my pass experience in previous job & my availability honestly it was relatively easy and they were down to earth
it was a good process and they asked for my background and any other relevant expericen. They were very welcoming and allowed me to talk about my past and ask as many questions as i had.
