The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Subway in Nov 2010
Interview
I filled out an online application, and a couple days later the manager called asking if I was still searching for a job. I said yes, and he scheduled an interview for the next day. I arrived ten minutes early, and the manager was ten minutes late. He didn't have an office, so we stood behind an open closet door. He asked me when I was available, why I thought I was the best for that job, and how long should it take to make a sandwhich. Then he took me behind the counter, and I had to demonstrate how fast I could do it. I had to cut the bread, lay down the cheese, meat, and lettuce in under a minute. The manager wanted me to come in for more training the next day, and mumbled something about calling me. Since he didn't state a time, I arrived at the same time that I had come yesterday. Two other women joined me. The manager walked in and said I wasn't supposed to be there, I "misinterpreted" what he previously said and he would call me later. Thoroughly mortified, I left and he never called.
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
I interviewed at Subway (Barnsley, South West England, England)
Interview
I was sat down and asked questions about myself in a possible manner in the middle of the restaurant as people dined around me. I was then instructed to cut bread so they could see how well I could do.
Easy flow, face to face and they are quite patient with you. The manager are understanding if it's your first time and let you through the flow of the process
