I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at HomeTown Buffet (Victorville, CA) in Oct 2015
Interview
Very quick process. Asked simple questions. Interview only lasted for about 10 minutes. The General Manager was very friendly and made me feel comfortable. I was never put on the spot, found it very easy to answer his questions.
I applied in-person. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at HomeTown Buffet (Moreno Valley, CA) in Jan 2016
Interview
I waited at a desk inside fore about 20 minutes, when the manager came out, he asked a few questions, looked at my resume, told me he would definitely hire me, and just to wait for the paper work. All very routine questions and everything.
