I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Chipotle (Knoxville, TN) in Jan 2022
Interview
Standard, phone call followed by appointment date set. Then questions and out the door. Manager was very kind during my visit. I did not accept the job due to low pay rate in this current economic climate. Thank you for the opportunity.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why did you choose Chipotle versus the massive amount of restaurants on this strip?
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Chipotle in Feb 2017
Interview
Spoke to a lot of people. I liked how crew members interviewed you as well. I didn't have to come back multiple days which was great. It was very laid back and more like a conversation than an interview.

Question 1
What my goals are, what are my strength and weaknesses.
I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Chipotle (North Canton, OH) in Jul 2017
Interview
Hired in from crew and raised to do the interviews, all they were looking for was ambition, energy and sometimes most importantly, just a smile. I'm not sure if they are still using the same model but when I was doing it they were looking for 13 characteristics, and would ask questions designed to highlight these attributes,
Polite
Hospitable
Smart
Ambitious
Curious
Happy
Respectful
Honest
Presentable
Conscientious
Motivated
Infectiously Enthusiastic
High Energy
These are said to be not teach-able, either you have them or you don't, so just read over them, and embody them in your every day life forever, go ahead, drink the Kool-Aid, I've met some of my best and lifelong friends from this place, and though I left, I wouldn't trade my experience for the world
