      Baker Interview

      Jun 12, 2021
      Anonymous employee
      Tampa, FL
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Panera Bread (Tampa, FL) in May 2021

      Interview

      I applied online and was invited to schedule an interview a few days later (the store was holding a hiring event/open interviews later on in the day, but I had an appointment so I am not sure if the interview experience differs). After I checked in, I was given a cup to get a drink of my choice and sit in the dining area. The interviewer came and introduced themselves and sat with me shortly after. They were friendly and seemed interested in making me feel comfortable. They had a clipboard with some standard questions (see below). After that I got to ask questions and they told me more details about the job duties, benefits, and training process. We chatted a bit more and then I was offered the position. Next they will be completing the background check and scheduling a time to fill out paperwork before training begins.

      It was fairly easy. Some behavior questions and questions about hobbies. They also asked me if I had any food service experience. Overall, it wasn't a bad gig between jobs.

      Easy interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Panera Bread

      Interview

      Very easy. My previous manager became the bakery manager so they already knew me. I contacted her and we arranged a phone call so we could talk about the position and see if it was a good match. It worked out really well for me then I was able to start soon after.
