I applied in-person. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Five Guys (Monroe, WA) in Feb 2015
Interview
The interview process was like any other in a food industry. It was one on one with the General Manager. Asked simple questions about the job and what your goals are. It helps if you have food handling history. They require you to watch videos before your "on the job training" which you most likely will never receive as employees are too busy to help you. No one starts as a Shift Leader as that is the next phase in the promotion process, you will start as a crew member and will be on one position for a week or two til you master that.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Are you over 18?
Any experience handling or preparing food?
How well do you work as a team?
What is your goal with the company, where do you see yourself 2 years from today?
How do you handle an upset customer?
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Five Guys (Broomfield, CO)
Interview
There was one interview that was with the manager. I took it after applying online, took around 15 minutes to complete. After that I was onboarded and started work the next week.
Go in and interview answer questions, fill out application online, call them to get an interview. High turnover rates. East coast is much better than west coast. Try to not work overtime
Interview was pretty straight forward. The store was very busy and rather loud, so the interview did not run long. Very to the point with questions and a brief rundown of position expectations
