I applied in-person. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Trader Joe's (Austin, TX) in Aug 2013
Interview
Went to screening and was immediately scheduled for interview the next morning. Positive attitude and excellent interpersonal skills go a long way with this company. Interviewed with two crew members and then told there would be another interview with the Captain. They said I would hear within a week if I was going to be continuing through the process. I heard back within 36 hours and scheduled for another interview with Captain. Three days later I was offered the position. Process start to finish was about 10 days.

Question 1
None...all similar to what others have posted here.
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.
I had 3 separate interviews. 1 was over the phone. 2 were in person. I never heard anything after the third interview. I called the store about a week later and they let me know they didn’t actually have any available positions. Really felt like they wasted my time.
