Interviewed Nov 2011 in Oxnard, CA (took 3 days)
The interview was done on the spot right after filling out my application. I got the application from the cashier at the front register and filled it out on site. I asked to speak to the manager in charge, and presented to her my application. She asked if I had a few more minutes for an interview, so we sat and began the interview process. The questions were more of character than work history. The interview took no longer than thirty minutes, after which she offered me employment.

Interviewed Apr 2010 in Allen, TX (took a day)
Decently easy interview. I just applied online with a couple of references, and received a call about a few weeks later. I went in for the interview wearing sneakers and a dressy T-shirt. Had a nice conversation with the general manager, making sure to be extra friendly and smile a lot. Never asked me any difficult questions. I received another call the next day and he offered me the job.

Interviewed Jun 2011 in Long Beach, CA (took 1 week)
I applied for the position online. With my application I uploaded a resume that clearly detailed my skills, work experience, education, etc. About a week later I was contacted by phone to attend a group interview. I was interviewed in a group of about 7 other candidates for the same position. Each candidate was called to speak with the manager and the assistant manager individually. I presented my resume and dresses business casual. I was asked 1) describe a little but about myself, 2) describe a situation where I had to deal with an angry customer, 3) explain why I want to work at Taco Bell, and 4) explain what I know about the company. I was also asked if I had any additional questions. During the interview my advice is to smile, tell the truth, be positive and upbeat, and don't be afraid to so something funny when appropriate to show that you are relaxed and have a nice personality.

Negotiation Details
The negotiation process is simple if you are applying as a team member. They can only pay you minimum wage to start. In California the minimum wage that Taco Bell is offering is $8.00. You must accept the minimum wage, tell them the hours you are available to work, and give them the sizes for your uniform.

Interviewed Oct 2010 in Lockhart, TX (took 3 days)
I filled my application out and turned it in on the same day, the next day the General Manager called me back for an interview that day and when I went for the interview and started talking he took notes on what I was saying... When the interview was over he said that it will take up to a couple of days that he has two more people to interview- it really only took one day he called me back and said that if I could come in to fill out papers that I was hired.. Then when I went in that day to fill out the papers he stated out of me and the other two people that I was the only one that he called back.. The other co-workers gave me some problems for about a month or so. But the work environment was really busy.
