I applied in-person. I interviewed at Panda Express (Chicago, IL) in May 2016
Interview
It was pretty easy, I just texted a manager and we figured out when to meet. We met within a week of my application and they went over my work experience. They didn't really care what was on it as it was a fast food place, they just wanted to make sure I was reliable and that I could follow a schedule.

Might have to go in for a second interview if restaurant you wanna work at is at a different location.
Second interview is a checklist to see if you match the criteria/hours (focus in hours and tell me about yourself)

Why Do You Want to work here
I applied through my school job fair and received a phone call from them asking for a interview. I accepted and I had an interview with the manager and assistant manager.
Pretty easy and straightforward. People are very friendly and store manager will ask some questions about the experiences, hobbies, education, etc. Most of questions are very easy and relaxing, and store manager will call you back if you are the good fit.
