I interviewed at Trader Joe's (Chicago, IL) in Aug 2012
Interview
Asked for a job application in person and filled it out. Returned it the next day completely filled out to the Captain, so glad I ran into him! He and another mate called me for an interview and I got hired a week later.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What would you dislike the most when working here?
It's two to three interviews, the final with the Captain (or highest manager) of the store. The interviews are largely to get to know your personality and how well you would do at customer service.
The interview process was absolutely wonderful! I didn't feel stressed or nervous and it felt like I was just chatting with a friend! Trader Joes is a great company and the interview was great.
Very chill, asked things a lot of job interviews don't, more personal down to earth questions. Made me feel very comfortable. Professional but also cool vibes from everyone who interviewed me. Went to one interview with mates and another with the captain.
