I was hired when I was 17 as a bagger. It was pretty much a walk on job, because my brother had previously worked at the same location. The interview was actaully more of for being innitiated into the company, just with the formality of an interview. I moved my way to the grocery department after about a year of bagging and pushing carts, and just a few weeks of cashiering.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
It is difficult to answer some specific food related questions when you are not familiar with their everyday use and contents. Especially because there is a vast ammount of grocery products.
The director interviewed me, and it was quick. I entered her office hoping I don’t stutter or lack confidence. My resume surprised her since I go to college, but I also do have retail experience. She first asked, “Tell me about yourself.” I did so and she just said “Yeah, I’m going to hire you.” After she asked what position did you apply to and I said general merchandise, but later I changed my mind to grocery. By the way, orientation takes so long!
It’s very easy just be yourself. And be presentable and show up early. If you’re feeling nervous just breathe before going in for the interview and sum affirmation words helps as well
The interview went very well. When the interviewer came out we talked, they got some basic background information and then I was asked my availability. They where then able to determine where I could be placed while taking the hours into account.
