I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at KFC (Palatine, IL) in May 2011
Interview
I applied with a paper application and a week later I got a call for an "interview." During the call I was asked if I could come "right now right now," as in I was expected to be there in 10 minutes given a 10 minute notice. I was asked one question at the interview, "can you start now?" and I answered yes and then I got a uniform after filling out some papers and was working within two hours of getting a phone call.
I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at KFC (Beverly Hills, MI) in Feb 2008
Interview
Walked in for an application and was called back for an interview a day afterwards. The interview consisted of very standard and situational questions such as: "Have you ever been a in a situtation where you didn't want to do the right thing" etc.
