        Brief and incredibly welcoming, the Publix organization continues to show what they're all about even through the interviewing process. They responded to me very well and it never felt like I was being talked down to, it was an overwhelmingly positive experience.

            I applied online. The process took 5 days.I interviewed at Publix (Winder, GA) in 9/1/2020

            Interview

            I was called by one of the store managers and told to come in the next day at 1pm. When I got there, I was taken to the break room to wait. Both the manager who spoke with me on the phone and another manager interviewed me. We mostly went through my application, they didn't even ask for my resume (which I brought), presumably because all the info they needed was on the application -- it's good for your optics anyways. I was originally supposed to interview for bagger, but since I had a lot of experience with cashiering, I was offered to be a cashier. It was one of the best interviews I have ever had. I was hired on the spot. Look presentable, be confident, and express how much you want to deliver "premium customer service". If you have cashiering, grocer, bagging, or customer service experience, you'll get the job.

                    Interview

                    I filled out my request form via the machine inside the store. They got back to me within a week and asked for an interview. I got one set up within the week to my convenience. The day of my interview, however, nobody knew who called me for the interview, and they took me in thirty minutes later than scheduled. It wasn't a big deal because the rest of the interview was great. I went into one room and talked to the customer service manager for a little while. He was straightforward and light-hearted. He asked me general personality questions and about my prior experience (little to none). After that, he took me into a separate room, asked me how much I would work for, and offered me the position. About five minutes later I was brought into the prior office with another store manager. In that room, I was given my drug test and filled out my forms. The whole process took about an hour. I was kindly asked if I could remove my nose rings and wear only stud earrings once I started my job.

                    Interview questions [3]

                    Question 1

                    How would I handle a customer who neede assistance finding an item?

                    Question 2

                    How would I deal with a customer who was upset about the cost of an item?

                    Question 3

                    Why did I choose to apply to Publix specifically?
