Interviewed Jan 2012 (took 4 days)
It was fairly easy, I couldn't answer some of the questions but the interviewer helped me through it as it was my first interview. Some of the questions were similar, there were a few about what you thought good customer service was like. She also asked what I would do in certain situations. She explained every question, and it seemed all she wanted to hear was that I was going to make the customer happy. She also went over the job description and rules, and constantly said 'When you work here', making me feel like I already got the job.
I applied online and got called the next day. The day after I got called I went in for an interview and two days later they called and told me to come in on Monday to start training.

Interviewed Dec 2011 in Burnaby, BC (Canada) (took 2 weeks)
I saw the ads from the craigslist, I sent my resume on-line. Two weeks later, I received a phone for interview. I went to the store the next day. There I met two managers, asked questions based on my resume and myself. This is a store located in university campus, they shouldn't have so much problems regarding to customers, I guess.

Interviewed Mar 2009 in Toronto, ON (Canada) (took 1 week)
The interview was for a position at a branch location, not the head office. The interview was relatively quick, about 20 minutes at most. They offered me the position on the spot (maybe they just needed people). It was a relatively easy interview, and they didn't ask any difficult questions. I did not prep for this interview at all, and it went fine.

Interviewed Apr 2009 (took a day)
They already know that most people are capable of working at Tim Hortons, so after the manager made sure she liked my personality, she asked my uniform size and told me to come in the following week.

Interviewed Jun 2009 (took a day)
The Manager phoned me around 2 weeks after I submitted a in-store job application. The interview took approx 30 min in-store and I wore semi-formal attire. Before the interview I researched online about the company's general history, current menu, and current situation. I didn't end up working there because I was gonna move in three month. I had a feeling they want to hire someone long term.

Interviewed Sep 2010 in Windsor, ON (Canada) (took a day)
The phone interview was short and sweet, basically asking what locations I could work and about my work history. I was told to come in for an interview at an office (not a restaurant).
The 1:1 interview was difficult for me at the time because I didn't know that interviewers asked questions about situations you've encountered at your previous workplace. It had been almost a year since I had a job, so I had no memory of anything.
At the end of the interview, the HR manager told me that they hired a lot of people already and they would probably hire me if something didn't work out with them. I'm not sure if that was just a nice way of saying "don't count on getting a phone call", but it was certainly an overall waste of effort, time, and money for transportation.

Interviewed Feb 2011 in Montreal, QC (Canada) (took a day)
I saw the boss interviewing other people, so I decided to make an application. I gave it in an then left to go home. The next morning the boss called me for an interview and the next day I started training. The boss is a very nice guy and I did not feel stressed or forced to give the right answers during the interview. I felt at ease and as if I was just having a simple conversation. He has people who have been working for 35 years with him, and I would classify him as a person who does a really good job at communicating on the same level as his employees. He was 20 minutes late for his own interview, but when I walked out with my new uniform ready to start work the next day after about only 30 minutes of a stress-free easy interview, I couldn't care less!

Interviewed Jun 2009 in Toronto, ON (Canada) (took a day)
The lady greeted me well and asked me a few questions of situations that may occur and what I would have to face at work. It was very descent but when I went to work the first day she told me to come another day because I didnt wear black shoes but she has not instructed me from the interview. Other than that it was fine.
