I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Potbelly Sandwich Works (Bloomington, IN) in Nov 2025
Interview
I took a vague personality quiz for the application process. The interview scheduling was done through the Seasoned app. The person who interviewed me was working behind the counter and we sat a table. I prepared notes but I was very nervous (it was also loud) and she was patient and understanding. The entire interview was very quick, took about 10 minutes and I heard back within 6 days.
