I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Five Guys (Jacksonville, FL) in Oct 2011
Interview
The whole interview is generally set up within a few days and only takes about 10 to 15 minutes. The key here is more to say " I'm polite, I'm friendly, I'm easy to talk to, I'm a hard worker, I'm very social, and most importantly I'm honest". This company will call your references and consistently ask you for more details. Once again how you speak is more important than the answers to mundane questions.
