The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Panera Bread (Columbus, OH) in Apr 2010
Interview
The interview process is pretty standard. Interview with District Manager, then with Market Manager. You have a possibility of a peer interview as well where you work in the store itself just to see what its like. Overall pretty easy as long as you have restaurant experience or management experience, and smile often.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What makes you interested and qualified for a management position?
I applied online. I interviewed at Panera Bread (Burnsville, MN)
Interview
It was professional and casual at the restaurant. Easy to talk with the recruiter. I didn't ultimately choose it at the time but it was pleasant enough. I think they hire from within and I was hoping to start as a GM
A recruiter reached out to me, before telling me what company the posting was specifically for he insisted on “re-working” my resume, but removed my most recent relevant experience and filled it with buzz words. I either from the process after my first phone interview with the recruiter because he was making the process convoluted and difficult.

Question 1
Why do you think you would be a good fit? (Recruiter had reached out to me hasn’t told me what company the role was with yet, just sent a vague description)
Walked in they asked can I do the job. I said yes. I was hired. I started as a normal associate and moved up to am after 7 years through college and after.
