Sit down with typically two mates. Are asked a few background questions, why you want to work at Trader Joe's and what is your favorite product. Will then have a follow up interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why do you want to work there? Why you think you're a good fit for Trader Joe's?
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.
