I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Panda Express (Orlando, FL) in May 2011
Interview
Applied online through the company's website. A couple days later I received a phone call from the restaurant's manager asking to schedule an interview.
I went to the restaurant with my resume and had a brief interview with the manager. She asked about my work experience and questions such as "how have you grown in your experience" and "what did you do during a time you made a mistake?". There was a lot of talk about "manager potential" and whether I would be willing to move up in the company. I said yes even though I didn't actually mean it (just looking for summer job).
After the brief interview she told me I was a good candidate, and that she would like the regional manager to interview me as well. He did a couple days later and eventually I was hired.
phone interview--over the phone 15 min, what are your weaknesses and strengths . Mostly general questions. Also be prepared about 7 habits of highly effective people. read it!!!

Interview
I showed up about 15 minutes early, and checked in with the person working the register. She said she would be able to interview me as soon as someone came to cover the register, and that I should have a seat. I sat down and waited for over 20 minutes.
