I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Subway (Nottingham, England) in Jul 2015
Interview
There was a new store opening in my local area and I applied via email, 2 days later I got a call asking me to go to the main subway in the town centre. I was called in for the interview with one of the managers and they started off by asking for my availability etc. They asked me what I liked about subway and this would be a good time to talk about how they have the salad bar and how you are able to watch your sandwich being made and the customer is very involved in the making of their order. I spoke about how the company have halal stores and how I appreciate how they stand for multiculturalism. They asked me how I worked in a team (mention prev. experiences, even in educational settings), what my idea of good customer service was and what skills I have that are applicable to the role. Talk about willing to go 'above and beyond' for customers and that no job or task is too little or too small and you're willing to get involved. When they ask about skills mention PEOPLE SKILLS and give evidence for that. The interviewer even said, 'you have to have people skills, I can teach anyone how to make a sandwhich but its people skills that matters'. Generally, the interview was pretty easy, they didn't ask any annoying situational questions and its always good to ask a lot of questions to show your interest. At the end they asked if I had any more questions and I made sure to ask about the new store opening, the hours, whether they were thinking of opening any more in the area etc.
Very easy no difficult questions, it’s subway, what do you expect? Fast food without the grease. Easy job but low pay and odd hours that they give you. Subway is obviously easy to get in with.
I applied online. I interviewed at Subway (Dayton, OH) in Jul 2026
Interview
I arrived on time for my scheduled 2:00 PM interview after driving approximately 20 minutes to the store. When I informed an employee that I was there for an interview, I was told the location was closing in two weeks. Since I had a scheduled interview, I waited about 10 minutes to speak with the hiring manager.
When we finally sat down, the hiring manager asked for my name and appeared ready to begin the interview. Before we started, I asked whether it was true that the store was closing. She confirmed that it was and then stated that they probably would not be moving forward with the interview process because of the upcoming closure.
At that point, the interview ended without any meaningful discussion of my qualifications.
If the store was already aware that it would not be hiring due to its impending closure, the professional and respectful course of action would have been to cancel the interview beforehand. Instead, I spent roughly an hour driving and waiting for an interview that had effectively been decided before I arrived. It demonstrated a lack of communication and consideration for applicants' time.
Easy process. Overall easy going job but low pay and can be busy at times. Created great friendships with the boss and a few co workers since most of the time there was only two people there
