I applied in-person. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Burger King (Little Rock, AR) in Mar 2012
Interview
Its pretty much easy if you already have experience in customer relations/assistance. He just asked a few questions about my past experiences and he told me to come in Friday, and the rest is history:)
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What contributions could you carry from your other job to advance in burger king?
I was expecting a more formal interview than it actually was, and I over-dressed for it... shirt and tie, etc.... It was a bit more spit and polish than they were accustomed to with interviewees, and I got the job on the spot. They seemed to think that I would be a good cashier, though cooking ended up being the best fit.
