The whole hiring process is really quick. I applied to a whole bunch in my area... New York City. I applied to around 6 or 7. I got an answer back from all of them within a week. They all scheduled an interview, but one location in particular personally called me to arrange a time. I went to one and they told me there were no interviews that day. I was discouraged and they were rude, but I knew that at 4:30 I had another interview scheduled. The one that had the wrong time didn't even tell me when I should show up. I killed some time, went to my second interview. The second one I arrived pretty early and bought chips and guac. My interviewer approached me, he was the manager i believe. He greeted me and said tell me about yourself, three things to describe you, why chipotle, and just more basic information about myself. Those were the only questions asked, but we were having a conversation. It felt extremely casual. I was lucky that it was not a group interview. At the end of my interview he said there were 350 applicants, but that I shouldn't be worried and he'd get back to me soon. But here's the thing. I saw another guy who got interviewed before me get interviewed a second time by someone else... so I got a little worried and I told him. My first interviewer said it wasn't mandated but I could talk to him too. We just had a casual conversation and he told me not to be worried as well and not to apply to other chipotles. Three days later I got a call saying I got the job!! Then its the whole actual hiring process that takes a little longer. You know the whole background check and all, but overall it was really cool.
