I am a stay at home mom and thought I would earn a little extra cash since I already shop here. I walked in to a location close to my house, looking for an opening. I spoke with a mate, he gave me an application to fill out on the spot. I filled it out, we chatted for a bit and then he gave me his card and said that I would get a call no matter what within 30 days.
Well, that time has come and went and no phone call. In all fairness, I could have called to follow up on the application, but I am no longer looking to work so I didn't pursue it any further.
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.
