Interviewed Feb 2012 in Tucson, AZ (took a day)
This was the first interview, what was described as a preliminary interview. We sat outside in the outdoor furniture and I was seated with the store manager and the regional marketing manager. The interview took 30 minutes and I was told I would hear from them in the next couple of days by phone.

Writing this review for anyone who has a pending interview with Whole Foods Market, what to expect, ect. Expect a phone interview from the lead of your department, basic screen, offer for group interview. I was interviewed by three people: Team Lead, Department Manager, Store Manager, if you get interviewed by three people then your chances of being employed by Whole Foods are definitely good because it shows serious interest on their part it's just your job to sell yourself (not out), just be yourself, sell yourself and I guarantee you get the job!

Interviewed Jan 2012 (took a day)
In person interview but I never heard from him eventhought I had been working at whole foods for over 10 years. The least he could have done is said I am sorry I passed. I have bakery experience from working at other wfm stores. He seemed to be a newly hired bakery team leader. Did not know what a part time employee was or a seasonal employee.

Interviewed Jan 2012 in Orlando, FL (took 2 days)
After filling out an application online I got a call for an interview less then a week later. I was interviewed by 4people. It was pretty intimidating even tho most of them were around my age 21-25. At the end of that interview they told me that they wanted me to do a second interview and that they would call me to set it up. They called me literay 2hours later. The next day I have the second interview wit one person the manager. He loved me it seemed and told me that they would call me if I was hired but that he had the last call and that he liked me so it was for sure lol. I got a call the next day telling me I was hired. It was quick when it came down to interviewing but overall a long process. My advice is to know about the company because they asked me on both interviews and be friendly and open availability is the best for them.

Interviewed Oct 2011 (took 2 weeks)
Was called for an initial screening interview over the phone a few weeks after I applied. I was called in for a panel interview the next week. Pretty standard questions. Went through portfolio and did a mock chalk board. Was offered the job later on that day.

Entry-level Accounting Position at Whole Foods

Interviewed Nov 2011 in Austin, TX (took a day)
I was able to obtain a job-shadow for an entry-level accounting position that was opening because a friend was advocating for me on that team. The job-shadow was on a Wednesday and interviews were to be held on that Friday. It was a successful meeting with the team member that I shadowed and was comfortable that I would do well in the position. I would be double-checking invoice totals on the computer. Since I had emailed back and forth with team members and the manager, I at least expected opportunity to interview. However, I learned that even though a friend is pulling for you, they prefer to hire from inside, and they don't like you to dress too professionally. They do not like suits, but mohawks are OK. I felt overdressed in Gap pants, a blouse, and short heels. Be yourself, but be just like them. There may be some sort of secret code. They did not extend the courtesy to call to let me know that they preferred not to interview me...they depended on my friend to figure it out. Austin is overwhelmed with educated young people that will work for low pay, so they don't need to outsource repetitious tasks. This is a matter of organizational sustainability, and Whole Foods has really been able to benefit from the local population.

Interviewed Jan 2011 (took 2 weeks)
Nice people. Organized and efficient. Applied inline; posted a streamlined resume and they contacted me within a week. Almost missed their callback as they didn't leave a message; luckily my phone showed the number. Called them right back. They scheduled a phone interview several days out. After a few minutes they said they'd like to interview face to face and made a date for the following week. Went to the interview; three interviewers; marketing team leader, store team leader, and regional team leader. Very professional, friendly, and relaxed. Enjoyed honest rapport. Did not ask for portfolio or skills test. Told me I'd basically be printing out signs. Called back a few days later to offer me a job.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
Not too much negotiation here. Job advertised at 14/hr. They offered $15.50 after I accepted which felt nice even though the job is not high wages--any hands on 'art' job is hard to find. The actual job involves computer savvy and printing out a stream of similar but changing price and sales signs to drive sales volume. Also supporting store team members and creating some chalk board art for the store.
The store policies and attitude towards employees is good.
