I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Chipotle (Cicero, IL) in Feb 2013
Interview
First of all this company is really picky, they will only pick people with the 13 characteristics.
First the company sent me an e-mail stating that they were hosting a job fair and will like to see me. I assisted the job fair -passed it-. Second, manager interview, be friendly and positive, if you pass the manager interview you will go and meet the crew, if they like you you'll totally get the position.
I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Chipotle (Pittsburg, CA) in Feb 2013
Interview
I had a group interview the first go around. I got a 2nd interview a week later, she liked me and I interviewed again the same day with a third manager and referred that I meet with the 4th manager the following day. The 4th manager liked me and I had to meet with the GM the next day for a one on one, which was great interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
All the questions were general. Just be yourself, smile. express how much you're looking to grow within the company, and how much you love working as a team.

Interview
Applied online and a week later they call me to come the very next morning for an interview. It was a new chipotle opening up and there were a bunch of people there waiting outside which kinda made me nervous heh. It took about 45 minutes to start the interview process because one of the other interviewers was running late. I did the interview with another person and we were interviewed by the new manager running the new chipotle and a restaurateur. They asked us fairly basic questions like tell me about yourself, strengths/weakness, etc. I thought I did fairly well and I was right since both of us got punched in for a 2nd interview the next morning! The 2nd interview was done with a group of 4 and both the same interviewers plus another restaurateur that owned 4 restaurants. You would think it would be one intimidating interview but they were all nice and chill. The other 4 people being interviewed with me were all friendly and got great vibes off them, we also laughed quite a lot cause the other restaurateur was cracking jokes haha. It made the interview 10x more relaxing and somewhat easier. The first part of the interview was pretty serious asking us questions like where do you see yourself in 2 years, situational stuff, and why should I choose you over the other 4 here.They also asked a of lot questions regarding the videos on their webpage and youtube acc. We were the last 4 that were interviewed that day and they told us were the first 4 hired after it was done!!! The restaurateurs and general manager made this a very pleasant interview experience. I think I'm going to love working here :)
