    Easy Interview
    Application

    I applied online. I interviewed at Panda Express (Apple Valley, CA)

    Interview

    I got an interview fairly quickly, they called me and I was interviewed the same day. The interview was at the location I applied to. I never heard back, and calling for an update didn't lead me anywhere.
