I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Vons in Jul 2009
Interview
I applied online, followed by frequent attempts to express interest to management at my target store. Three months went by, after which I approached a Vons employee to put in a good word for me with management to get an interview. Within days I got a phone call to arrange for an interview. The interview took about 1 hour. I was asked questions about why I wanted to work there, how I would handle conflicts with other employees, why I thought Vons should hire me, i.e., standard interview questions. Within a week of interview I received my computer training, after which an additional week passed before I was put on schedule.

It was pretty easy and felt just like a normal conversation with the manager. I just sat down and had a 20 minute conversation about availability and previous job experiences.
