I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Safeway in Jan 2008
Interview
first you're interview by a HR person. she was really nice. she asked about the basic things.... your education, experience in retail, and marketing skills. it was like sitting down and talking to a friend over coffee rather than an interview.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Safeway (Pleasanton, CA) in Aug 2011
Interview
Safeway hired PAs through a temp agency initially before offering a permanent full time position. The interview process was easy and not difficult at all. Employee referral is the best way to get hired.
