The interview process included an online aptitude test, followed by a group discussion. Then there was an interview that covered both technical and HR aspects. Finally, there was a document verification step to ensure all original documents are present and accurate.

The interview process was quick and easy. They gave me a test to pass and I needed to submit my food handler's card. Everything had to be submitted before hiring. They provide a basic uniform and require blue or black jeans and non-slip crocs. The interview itself only took a few minutes, and I knew right away if I was hired.

Behavioral

I submitted my resume at the store, and I think going in the morning to chat with the manager is a good idea. About a week later, I got a call back for an interview. It was pretty laid-back, lasting no more than 20 minutes. They asked basic stuff about my availability, why I was interested in Subway, and if I had any previous experience in food service or customer service.
