I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Jimmy John's (Indianapolis, IN) in Aug 2013
Interview
One interview only one day after I submitted my application. This particular application was desperate for employees because it was a lower income area. The manager did not dwell on previous experience or traditional questions you would hear in an interview, he moreso wanted to get to know me and why I needed the job. After the interview he offered me the position and I accepted. The culture of the workplace was a little off-putting at first. Core employees had been there for a long time, and fringe employees, such as myself, were left out of a lot of conversations. It was still a fun environment and no one took anything too seriously. The manager and employees respected the fact that, although there are rules and regulations, we are just making sandwiches and we should have fun with it.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The only unexpected part of the interview was the fact that it was fairly nontraditional; not focused on previous work or 'why I wanted to work there'.
easy and nice to me. Simple questions about school life and what you goals and aspirations are. Some behavioral questions about overcoming obstacles and such. Open about schedule and salary as well and hours.
I interviewed at Jimmy John's (Upper Arlington, OH)
Interview
Quick and to the point, asks about food business experience, why this job, how did you hear about them, and how soon are you able to start, and pay schedule
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Jimmy John's (Chicago, IL) in June 2017
Interview
Easy one on one interview with owner. Asked some basic background questions and asked when I could start working. Not much else to the interview. I wore a polo with khakis
