Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Fresno, CA May 2013 – Reviewed May 11, 2013 New
Interview Details – I had a 1:1 interview, it took about 10 minutes, it was pretty simple. I received a call back to be interviewed by the district manager, lasted about 30 minutes. Some questions include: Why do you want to work here? What can Jack in the Box do for you? What times are you available? Just be yourself, don't try to memorize what your going to say. They want someone who can say what is in the heart not on the mind.
Interview Question – Why should I hire you for this company? I tried memorizing this question before I went for the interview and then I choked up midway through my explanation. Just be yourself don't memorize your answers, it never works. Answer Question

Took about 2 weeks, the interview was really short and asked about, maybe, 5-6 questions at most. Supervisor said he liked me and said that he was going to have the manager give me a call as soon as possible. Got a call back the next week to start the next day.
