I applied online. I interviewed at Chipotle (Los Angeles, CA) in Feb 2014
Interview
I went to the job fair and there was about ten people total including me, the manager told us how he runs the store and what he expects from a person, and also the history of Chipotle itself. We then got asked who inspired us the most and everyone had a turn, and once everyone went, the job fair was over. They told us they would be in contact within 48 hours but I never got an email or a phone call so I called them and they told me that I didn't get a second interview. It was very unprofessional to me that I waited over the time they said they'd be in contact to get nothing and to have to call to see if they declined me.
Asked questions about what positions work best for you, why you want to work there, what makes you a good fit there, where you see yourself in 5 years. Very simple and open to answer any questions I had
I applied online. I interviewed at Chipotle (Los Angeles, CA) in May 2026
Interview
Very brief, was only asked a few questions. I felt a decision about not hiring me was made before the interviewer even sat down. I suspect the interviewer was not accustomed to interviewing and may actually only standing in for a manager that was not working that day
The interview process included an application, attending a brief in-person interview, answering questions about teamwork, availability, customer service, and attitude, and was sometimes followed by a same-day or quick hiring decision.
