I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Chipotle (Toronto, ON) in May 2015
Interview
You can apply online and you get a call the next day or in a few days to schedule an interview. They're always hiring.
Make sure you look presentable, doesn't have to be business. Do your research about the company. Know about food with integrity, 13 characteristics and Steve Ells.
First interview is a group interview (other candidates) with the Apprentice GM +/- Service Managers/Kitchen Mangers. Depends who's working that day.
Make sure you SMILE and have ENERGY. It's very important to them.
Full-time availability is a plus.
If you get the second interview, they will call you in a few days to schedule it, if not, you get a rejection email.
The second interview is with the General Manager of the store. Don't worry, they're all nice. It's part of their policy. The interview is just as easy as the first one.
Sometimes they call you for a 3rd interview to meet the crew. Personally, I was hired after the second interview.
If they call you to schedule an orientation for a few hours, it means you're hired.
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.
Very tired manager and kept getting sidetracked seemed uninterested in interview process. Couldn't concentrate on what he was saying. Not good interview at all and I knew I wouldn't get a call back by way he acted
They asked what experiences I have and why I want to work there. Then they asked what day I'm available. At the end they asked if I have any questions.
