      Personal Shopper Interview

      Sep 16, 2016
      Anonymous employee
      San Francisco, CA
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Instacart (San Francisco, CA) in Feb 2016

      Interview

      Note: Hiring process may have changed a bit recently. Overall: The easiest interview ever. I was out of school with zero experience, and I got hired. The process was very simple and upfront: After filling out an easy form online about past experience and possible scenarios, you will most likely get contacted back for an in-store interview. The in-store interview will have you and several other potential shoppers toured around a grocery store and go over the shopper app, general guidelines, etc. After being shown around, you will be tasked to do a few mock-shopping around the store. The key here is to be fast and accurate. If possible, visit the store before your interview to get a feel of where everything is. If you make the cut, they'll ask a few questions and send you to their offices where they'll go over more details about the job and get you set to work for them. Again, the key here is to be fast with your shopping, which will require knowledge of the store. If you did not shop fast enough to be an in-store personal shopper, you may still be offered a full-service shopper position, which is both in-store shopping and delivery. I have not gone through that process.

      There isn’t one they just do a background check and dmv report. I’m not sure what else to put but there is no interview for this position it is self employed

      Application

      I interviewed at Instacart

      Interview

      Online application process done entirely through your phone. Not so much an interview as you are self contracted, more so a background check. As expected from a position such as this
