Interviewed Jan 2012 (took 5 days)
I Submitted an application online and within a week someone called me to schedule an interview for that day. It was my first interview, and I was obviously very nervous, but my interviewer was very nice and the questions were fairly standard from what I've read. They asked me about myself, why I wanted to work there, and my availability. I answered everything a bit shakily but I was still accepted to move on to training!

Interviewed Jul 2011 in Richmond, VA (took 4 days)
I applied online and I had to follow up via phone call when I had lost the other job I gained in the meantime. With this in mind, calling them back took me about 2 1/2-3 weeks and they made no attempt to contact me first. As soon as I called, they needed to pull my file and said they would call me back if I fit what they were looking for. I also said my availability opened up too so they added that to their consideration before calling me back. They called me within 2 hours of the phone call to schedule an interview for two days later. The interview literally took 3 minutes and she just asked me what I liked about my other jobs. She asked another filler question, and when I asked her about hour availability because I want to work a lot and need the money, she said they never give less than 12 and can give PT workers up to 32. Picking up shifts is where they see a lot of hours because people call out literally everyday and if they see you're reliable, you will in turn get their hours.

Interviewed Mar 2010 (took 5 days)
I came in not very prepared and did not know what to expect having been my first interview. I came in and they had me wait at the front of the store for about half an hour. The store manager came and led me to the back which i assumed was for employees but looked more like a crime scene. He asked me questions like why i want to work for Giant and what i would offer ,both of which I chocked on. He told me that they'll call me if I was hired, though i knew that it didn't go well. I failed but atleast I looked nice doing it. : /

Interviewed May 2009 in Charles Town, WV (took a day)
I had to keep applying over a period of ten months to even get the interview. I would have liked to be considered for night-time stocking or some other better-structured job than cashier but I was told that cashier was the only thing available and that I would be considered for other jobs later. The person who does the interviewing is only part-time herself in that capacity. This business runs the front-end on the fly and without much consideration for the employees at all.

Interviewed Mar 2009 (took a day)
The Store manager took me in his office and had me fill out paper work consisting of personal information. They make you take a personality test when you fill out the application online. I continuously walked into the store asking to meet with the store manager and received an interview with him.
