I applied in-person. I interviewed at Trader Joe's in May 2014
Interview
Applied in person and was given a mini interview on the spot which caught me off guard. However the mate was very friendly and made me feel welcome. Even though I had no retail experience he said that it was completely ok. He liked the fact that my working hours were at any time. They called me the next day to schedule an interview next week.
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.
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.
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.
