I applied in-person. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Burger King (Gurnee, IL) in Mar 2010
Interview
Went in for a one on one interview the D.M. seemed very professional. Burger King spared no expense on the background check, credit check, and the hair drug test. The only thing they didn't do was an intelligence test, however they may be able to tell intelligence from the 1 on 1 interview.
Simple and quick. They are looking for mature individuals who are dependable and do not call in. Show leadership skills to a certain extent and ability to work with the team as a whole.
Pretty easy, making sure it's clear that managerial experience in the food industry.
Don't be afraid to voice concerns. Control the interview and make sure your demands are met. It's fast food so don't be a pushover
Spoke briefly with the district manager who covered about 5 or 6 stores in the arra and once he had approved, he sent me on to Sonia the general manager of the S Shields location for a more specific set of questions.
