Interview
I received an email for an interview and a week after that interview I called to follow up. The general manager said she forgot to call me but wanted to do a second interview so I went. A week after that interview I called to follow up again and received yet another interview, all by different managers. At the end of the third interview they told me that the final interview would be by the general manager and that I should receive a call back later today or tomorrow. After three days I decided to follow up myself, yet again, and received the response of "Oh I forgot to ask the other manager about you call back at 4". I call back and am told that the general manager had just left and that my message would be relayed to her and that she would get back to me later today or the next morning. I found it highly unprofessional and a huge bother. I won't be following up anymore even though I really wanted to work there. I don't really understand why four interviews is required to wrap burritos part-time, and then being put off like that.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Nothing was difficult, all interviews lasted less than 10 minutes and were very easy.
I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Chipotle (Baltimore, MD) in Sep 2014
Interview
I applied online. The next day, I received an email stating there are open interviews on mondays and wednesdays from 3:30-5:00. Earlier that day, before i checked my email, I called them and the person i spoke to told me about the open interviews.
(This is my very first job application and job interview)
I go to the open interview and there were 2-3 other people there. After 2 people, I was interviewed. The guy who did my interview was the General Manager. I was asked basic questions such as level of education, what days and shifts I would like to work, do i have reliable transportation, what do I usually do everyday.
Then I was asked if i knew background information about chipotle which is food with integrity and the CEO Steve Ells. I did, because prior to the interview I looked up these facts on their website.
In the middle of this interview, the general manager went to his office and pulled up my application and took a quick look but that's it.
Then questions came up like Why do you want to work at chipotle? What do you expect to get out of working from chipotle? Where do you see yourself in this job in a few months? Do you see yourself in the line or in the food prep?
After that, he had another person, a kitchen manager, interview me with the same questions and they were gonna have one more manager, the service manager, interview me as well but that manager was busy with someone else. They hired me. Manager told me they sent me a link to a background check test on my email, fill the form and once they get the form they will call me when I start.

Question 1
There was really no unexpected question or difficult ones. Just answer everything honestly, because the company and managers value honesty, and give yourself time to think before responding. They also love someone who smiles and/or shows energy.

Interview
I applied online and got an email a while later telling me about an interview so I was excited and went there all professionally but they made me wait forever and the kitchen manager was impressed with all my answers and said that she would call me back but didn't. Two weeks later I called asking for the manager about the status and she set me up for a second interview. The next day I went thinkin it was the official second interview but NO they did not even know. The general manager wanted to hire me but after asking when I'll turn 18 she said she unfortunately cannot hire me even though she'd love to. I was confused because the first interview was fine when she knew my age so I said but this is the second interview so I assumed everything was clear and she was all suprised and had to talk with someone about it. She continued the interview but I saw no point in it. She said she'd let me know later but no. I gave up on this very unorganized company! What a waste of time and hope and studying about this company!
