Interviewed Feb 2012 in South Plainfield, NJ (took 3 weeks)
I was referred to this position by my boss and applied online. The next morning I received a call from a recruiter asking to set up a phone interview. After we went through the phone interview, she emailed me some paperwork and the link for an online personality test. The personality test was a little nerve-wracking because many of the questions were difficult to answer on a yes or no basis. After I faxed back the paperwork and finished the test, I received another phone call from the recruiter asking to set up an in person interview. The only reason it took three weeks for all this to happen is because all the general managers were away at a conference and I had to wait until they returned in order to finish the interview process.

Interviewed Apr 2011 (took 4 days)
I walked in and filled out an application during their off-hours and was immediately interviewed by the kitchen manager, a well-dressed, polite young guy. He said I "seem like a good guy" and he would "put in a good word" with the general manager. About 2 days later I got a call asking to come back for an interview with the general manager. The general manager was kind of intimidating - he was less personable than the kitchen manager but seemed to be more professional. I was so scared I was going to blow it when he asked me "So, why should I hire you?" and I fumbled my words quite a bit, but he ended up offering me the job. I went through orientation just 3 days later and was working in the kitchen the day after orientation.

Negotiation Details
I didn't have to negotiate much at all. The location I applied for was hurting for cooks. In fact, I had written down on my application that I wanted at least $8.00/hr, and they started me at $9.00/hr. Don't be afraid to ask for more money.
Other Details
I applied In-Person and the interview consisted of a 1:1 Interview.

Interviewed May 2010 in Morgan Hill, CA (took 2 weeks)
I went in for an interview after turning in an application and recieving a call by a shift manager named ( ), he was a really down to earth guy , real easy to get along with and feel comfortable enough to answer some of the questions that requuire some thought to your past work expeirnce. Like one of the questions asked to me "Tell me a time you had to react quickly to a situation and how you would handle that situation", which I kinda stumbled anyways but I still got a second interview for what i believe was me smiling, Greeting the "manager" style workers by name and introducing myself with my full name (minus middle, lol).
The second interview involved the store manager which he was a very relaxed and consistent interviewer it was a quick interview that was just a 1:1 conversation about my past expeirence, what I wanted to add to the company, also my own intrest (which I had listed some tech intrest I own on my re'sume) (aka: "Competitive Video Gaming", which sounds a bit unprofessional but in the right circumstances provide me with some good new people ice break conversations).
And by the way (btw) though I had some pretty cool and relaxed directed questionaire (interview) I always over think an interview before hand, but ive found talking to myself like a crazy person (hah) on the way to the interview about how great of a person and worker I'am it helps build my confedence before hand. Try it next time and scare some close by cars and probaly family members or friends while talking to yourself on the road.
"I am strong I'm the one man/woman that can truly work this job right"

Interviewed Feb 2010 in Seattle, WA (took a day)
The HR reached me by finding my information from Monster.com and offered me a phone interview. I could not make it on the day they asked me and had to reschedule but they were very lazy about it. I had to call them at least ten times to reschedule. Finally got the rescheduled interview and afterward they said they will call but kept giving me excuses and ended up telling me a month later that they are not hiring...

I am still in the process of the interview. The last one is this week. I have talked to the recruiter 5 times and am meeting with the District manager for the second time this week. I also spent a couple hours with the store manager seeing how it ran. Seems very professional this far
