Interviewed Nov 2011 in Edmonton, AB (Canada) (took a day)
The interview to me was a great experience. One day, as I went for grocery shopping I saw an advertisement that they would hold a Job Fair in a conference centre next to the store (Superstore) the next week. So I brought my resume with me and went in to apply. They have us ( there were lots of people who came in to apply) sitting at a laptop station to complete a 60 questions test in 15 minutes. Pretty much Personality test. Then I was called to a table representing the store I'd like to work at. The supervisor who interviewed me was very nice and thoughtful, she seemed very patient and interested in what I was saying to her. Basically she asked me about how would I handle a very angry customer and she was very satisfied about my answer. The interview took only 15 minutes. At the end she asked if I wanted to ask her any question. I was pretty much nervous so I said no but she asked if I was sure about it. And I literally told her I was nervous which I didn't know I shouldn't say that (lol). But she then spoke to the Recruiter who was sitting next to her that she liked me because I was being very honest. She then told me that just work hard and I would receive what I deserve, to grow with the company and considered it as a career.

Interviewed Aug 2011 in Brampton, ON (Canada) (took 2 weeks)
I received a call from HR after 3 days I applied to the job online and I had my phone interview with HR next day. It took 30 minutes and it was average. In less than a week, I received a call from another recruiter to schedule an interview and after 2 days I had my 1:1 interview with HR for 20 minutes and right after that another interview with 2 hiring managers for 1.5 hours. This was the final interview and I was told that they would make a decision in 2 weeks. Hiring managers were so friendly and it was a really positive experience for me even though I couldn't get the job. Also, HR called me after 2 weeks to let me know that they decided to go with another person.

Interviewed May 2011 in Brampton, ON (Canada) (took 1 week)
The phone interview was easy, same as my resume. We set a date for an interview with the Hr and supervisor of technical team. Nice people to talk.
Questions were about my experience, why Loblaw, ...
After that technical test took 30 minutes.
But no response ... and one thing interesting, after 4 months you can see job post on internet... They didn't find any one yet.

Interviewed Jan 2011 in Brampton, ON (Canada) (took 4 months)
Job was posted in Dec last year. Initial telephone HR interview was in Jan. Took 4 weeks for them to get back to set up 1st level interview with hiring Manager. Facility was great. Interview went very well. Quite detailed and they explored all your background and found it perfect.
After this, it took only 4 months before they called back for the 2nd interview - until then HR kept saying I am their top candidate. 2nd interview with upper management was a bit disorganized. They didn't know where to start - asked a few trivial day to day support questions - seemed a bit too junior though the position is management. They didn't sound like the background is very good fit for 'support'. If they had doubts they could have gone over the resume and asked me to speak more along the 'support' background - esp knowing they don't have that many candidates in line. It could be just that the candidate didn't know exactly what they were expecting the person to say...interview is intimidating to some people, though they might be fantastic performers actually. Why don't they do a contract to hire - if they are doubtful ?
They reposted the job after a day. Still looking after 7 months.

Interviewed Aug 2010 (took a day)
Handed in resume at the customer service desk, got two messages on my answering machine. One for an interview as a cashier, the other was an interview for Joe Fresh as a sales associatiate. Called them both back and had two interviews arranged on different days. Interview for Joe Fresh was first. Was asked simple questions: What I knew about the company, how I would deal with certain difficult situations and so forth...
The interview wasn't too bad...i was pretty nervous but it was just a one on one chat. The interviewer was very laid back and she sometimes used the wrong words which made me laugh. Was offered a position at the end of the interview after she did a background check.
