The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Subway (State College, PA) in Oct 2009
Interview
Submitted my application in-store, and was called a few days later to set up an interview. The interview was with the Store Manager. There was a coach of some kind there to oversee as well -- probably from HR (I think the manager was fairly new.)
The interview itself consisted of a bunch of stock questions about various things. I don't remember them all in detail, but they varied from basic questions about service to just "getting to know you" questions. I was told later by someone that they were selected from a large list of questions from the company. Things like "Who are some of your personal heroes?", and my personal favorite -- "If you were a super hero, what super power would you have?".
Most definitely the easiest interview I've ever had. Nothing to get worked up over.
My impression is that they just want to get to know you a little. The job itself is easy and requires very little prior experience, and they just want to make sure that you aren't insane.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I personally don't remember any difficult questions.
Had the most intense sit down interview in front of the customers, I felt pretty embarrassed and singled out with other people watching. I got the Job about three days later
It was good, basic techniques were told and questions about timings were asked, and then moved to training. Some team members are good and gave good training. Gave time to understand the instructions and how to complete different tasks. A lot of tasks are given so need to pay more attention.
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.
