Interview
This was my first job interview ever and it went better than expected. The manager was really chill and sweet. I was offered something to drink and the staff was really nice as well. After the interview i was told to come back for a second interview 2 days later with the general manager and was offered the job a week later (they were interviewing other people). Overall it was a fantastic experience and i would just suggest be yourself and come well dressed!

Interview
The process was super casual in the sense that the manager made me feel at ease, considering it was my first job, and asked a lot about my competency in dealing with everyday customers. 1 round of interview, and the turnaround was about 2 weeks.

Question 1
Scenarios for handling everyday customers. This goes beyond just helping customers with orders; it goes into situations like allergy information and how to calm customers down.
good questions and nice environment for people that applies to all he positions. there is not discrimination of race, sexuality or gender in any restaurant. it as a very fast hiring process. not complicated applications or interviews.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Panera Bread (Huntington Beach, CA) in Jun 2014
Interview
Post 1st interview at Seal Beach, CA, I was given a 2nd interview at my desired location-Main Street at Huntington Beach. Manager Casey was not at all what I expected: sincerely kind and incredibly easy to talk to. Asked me 'what's your fave movie?' and 'have you ever had a confrontation with co-workers?'. Easy questions and an easy-to-talk-to manager. Also got a free drink from a warm cashier. Great atmosphere.
The only flaw? Being told to wait a few days for a call, to see if I make it to a 3rd interview. Inconvenient and crazy!
