I applied online. I interviewed at Panera Bread (Reading, PA) in Sep 2017
Interview
The first interview was about 15 mins and relatively easy. The manager asked me about my background and what type of things I liked to do. I believe they were just trying to get a feel for who I was as a worker. She was very thorough and explained what the job would be like and what to expect from customers.
