I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Papa John's (Africa, Esmeraldas) in Mar 2022

Interview

Pretty smooth process no bumps or bruises or anything like that. Enjoyed it. Would definitely do it again 100% 10/10 experience. Next time I would just have appreciated if they had a warm pizza there for me to eat or take home or whatever. You know just a little hungry in there.
