I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Trader Joe's (Charlottesville, VA)
Interview
Took 4 interviews. Very unorganized. Ask weird questions. They care about personality, not experience.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Favorite meal to prepare. It's weird because you don't have to cook to work in a grocery store... All I do is stuff chips on shelves, not prepare master chef meals.
Applied online and had one in person interview with the captain. It lasted maybe 10 minutes. Got a call a week or so later that I got the job. Very fast process.
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.
