Interviewed Aug 2011 in Oklahoma City, OK (took a day)
Found an ad on CL for a Bakery Manager. I have been in the catering and events industry for 7 years. Sent resume by email on Friday, called on Monday, interview on Tuesday. Showed up at HQ, no one knew I was supposed to be there, the interviewer was late, (after they called around at my request- they tried to send me away, believing that I had no interview- was treated like I was trying to sleaze my way in!) after the interviewer finally showed up (ten minutes late) I was made to wait an additional twenty minutes. Brought into a conference room, and he began by asking me questions, fast, chronological, rapid fire questions- where did I come from, grow up, move to, what next, what next, etc. Example:
INT: "So, Candidate, how did you manage to move to Oklahoma from where you came from?"
ME: "Well, my dad was military.." (interrupted)
INT: "Great, great, what did you do next, was he army or air force"...
ME: (thinking) Which question am I supposed to answer?
And it continued on in that vein for an hour- me trying to answer questions (totally irrelevant to the subject matter, in my opinion. I mean, shouldn't you care more about what I can do in terms of production and baking, business development and marketing than whether or not my dad was army or air force? And where the bar was that I tended back in 1995? And what I thought of Oklahoma weather? Who gives a bloody damn?) and being pretty constantly interrupted. I think the term is "run roughshod over". In the middle of the interview, he made the remark that "a woman like yourself needs to know that a bakery is a dirty business, and involves getting dirty and even having to do some of the bakery work herself". I don't know if it was the height that my eyebrows got to, or the way I practically crawled over the table into his face and told him, "listen, mister. You haven't SEEN dirty work until you have PERSONALLY made lunch for 750 people because one of your cooks didn't show up for an event" that he took me a little more seriously. Figuring I had already lost the job, I took the gloves off and just kicked back and enjoyed the remaining two hours of the interview. I interrupted him as often as he interrupted me, shot back a couple of comments (like, "What was I expected to do? Show up in dirty cook's whites with barbecue sauce on my face and flour on my hands? This is a management position- I wore a SUIT. Appropriately.") Anyway, he told me that in about 3-4 weeks I could expect either a phone call (good) or the "dreaded letter" (bad). I shook his hand and walked out, went home, fixed myself a stiff drink, and laughed. That man knows more about me than my best friend, my mother, and my ex-husband combined. The interview was so thorough, I felt like he should have bought me dinner first, lol.
Meanwhile, I have decided to take a position I had on offer from a large supermarket bakery as Bakery Manager. I have not bothered to call them and ask them to take me off their candidate list, if a "woman like myself" is still on there, lol. :) Good luck!

Interviewed Apr 2011 in Dallas, TX (took 3 months)
After several phone interviews with several people and several phone calls to schedule a face to face interview I was then asked to fly to Dallas. Then after flying to Dallas I was interviewed again asked the same questions by 3 different people for 3 long hours all while never being offered anything to eat or drink for lunch then asked to take a skills test. I was rushed to the airport almost missing my flight waited 3 weeks and called and told I didn't pass the test. Thanks but no thanks. They aren't looking at your skills or experience they are looking at your test results. Good luck to anyone that interviews with them.

Interviewed Feb 2011 in Dallas, TX (took 2 days)
The interview was based on a phone interview with the recruiter who short-listed candidates. I had an informal chat session with the hiring manager at a coffee shop. Then, I was called in for an in-person interview at 7-Eleven's corporate HQs. I was also given a walkaround their office and found the discussion very professional and engaging. But, there was a hiring freeze and the position I was interviewing for was no longer available.

Interviewed Mar 2011 (took 3 days)
I found this position by calling 7-Elevens in the city, asking if they were hiring. I finally was redirected to the store that was hiring. I was told to come in immediately for my interview.
When I arrived, the manager was happy to greet me there. We stopped and talked for about five minutes. He asked if I had any experience in retail, I explained that I did not.
I filled out a paper application, there was nothing about a background check or a drug test and neither were required. The application had a very small, four question section on basic math. I returned the application, and was told that I would be called soon.
Two days later, I was asked to come back to the store for another interview. He walked around the store with me, explaining that I would be sweeping, restocking coolers, mopping the floor, working the register and selling food. I was informed that there are goals to upsell on food, and that I would be accountable for them when I am working.
We returned to his office, and he told me that he thought I was a good fit. He told me that there was a 90 day probationary period, where I work for 90 days and then he decides if he wants to continue my employment. I was to begin training the next day, finish in two, then begin working in three days.
I told him that I was fine with that and he discussed the details with me, including training and uniforms.
The interview was very easy over all. It took under 20 minutes, and was literally just showing up and listening to the manager talk. I was not asked any questions except if I had retail experience and the math questions on the application.

Interviewed Feb 2010 (took 1 week)
Call from HR, then go to the company to conduct knowledge testing and psychological, there are 1 Hr person interviewed. After the process they call to have interview with section Manager. The interview process was hard at the first time that I have interviewed with HR staff as some trick question which very specific about the job. However, conducting interview with section manager was easy as the man was very friendly.

Interviewed Jan 2011 in Orlando, FL (took a day)
Intial Interview went great, everything in my opinion was on point, recruiter was very honest and straight forward in his approach to everything. HIs questions were very up front and to the point. He asked the normal questions to include What is a strength, When do you feel that you were not satisified with your performance at a previous job and other questions along that line. Keep following up to move yourself through the process though or else I believe you will get bogged down. I am sure these recruiters are all over worked and under staffed.
