Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Detroit, MI May 2013 – Reviewed May 17, 2013 New
Interview Details – I had 3 interviews with Meijer back-to-back in the same day. It went quite well considering the fact that I got hired on the spot. They're mainly looking for a friendly person who isn't afraid to smile. They put emphasis on smiling, so make sure you do this a lot.
Interview Question – There wasn't a difficult question. It seems like nowadays employers don't ask traditional questions anymore. They ask question to see how'd you react in certain situations. Answer Question

Third Shift GM Clerk at Meijer
Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Franklin, OH Nov 2012 – Reviewed May 3, 2013
Interview Details – I filled out the application. A few days later, Meijer called and set up an interview. I had three interviews. The first was with the third shift first assistance. The second interview was with the 3rd shift store director in charge. After passing both of the interviews, the 3rd shift store director in charge set me up for an interview with the regular store director. After a brief interview, the store director told me that I was hired and sent me to another office to fill out some information so that they could set up a background check. My only complaint is that the whole process took a month! I know the store was busy, but most people will not wait that long before moving on.
Interview Question – None Answer Question
Negotiation Details – There was no negotiation. Part time positions generally do not offer the ability to negotiate.

Systems Monitor at Meijer
Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Davison, MI Oct 2012 – Reviewed Apr 29, 2013
Interview Details – Was taken into the back office and asked general questions, why I wanted to work here, how I handled situations, etc. Managers are provided a questionnaire sheet with questions to ask, most likely cherry picked from the application itself, so make sure you answer consistently. The overall interview is the same as most retail interviews.

Retail Financial Engineer at Meijer
No Offer – Interviewed in Grand Rapids, MI – Reviewed Apr 2, 2013
Interview Details – I was contacted by phone and asked to schedule a phone interview. We played phone tag for about 2 days and then scheduled an interview for a week later. The interview was with the same woman who first contacted me, and was pretty straight forward. Most questions were behavioral with a couple that were unusual in my experiences. The phone call lasted about 25 minutes and I was told I would be contacted within 2 weeks to either schedule a face to face interview or be told I did not receive the job.

Deli Associate at Meijer
Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Mar 2013 – Reviewed Mar 24, 2013
Interview Details – The overall process was really quick. I think it was mainly because they are understaffed and need people quick. I filled out my application, and got a call for a phone interview the following day (which was a Thursday). Then I had an in-person interview with a team leader and the head of the deli the following Saturday. It was stress free, and easygoing, questions weren't hard at all. Just some situational questions like 'Name a time when you had to take over someone else's project' and 'Name a time when you had to tell an authority figure about someone's bad behavior' . I was told I would get a callback by the 26th. They called me back for my third interview 3 days later on Tuesday, and scheduled it for Thursday. My third and final interview was with the store director. Some more situational question were asked, like 'Name a time when you had results that exceeded your expectations' and 'Name a time when you had to work with someone you didn't like'. Was pretty easy for me because I had answers for every question asked. Talked for a while, I was told I was a good fit for the position and welcome to Meijer. Have to wait about a week for my background check to clear, then they will call and tell you when to report for orientation. Everyone was extremely nice while still being professional. Just be calm, confident and answer the questions to the best of your abillity. Really excited about getting the job, and can't wait to start!
