      Crew Member Interview

      Jan 1, 2015
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Trader Joe's in Nov 2014

      Interview

      I submitted an application at this North County San Diego location and was called in for a job interview about two weeks later. I arrived on time and my interviewer was ready for me. We headed to the back of the store and ended up in a small work room in back. Either TJ is very clever and set up this mini psychology experiment in human (my) attention, or they were just insensitive to the interview process. Despite a sign on the door that said "Do Not Disturb, Interview in Progress", not fewer than five employees sneaked or burst in to the room. Some employees mumbled an apology, others banged through like the two of us in the interview were invisible...and then the pounding started. Apparently, this room is also the back entry for any employee who does not want to walk through the store to report for work. bam bam bamm!!! Hmmm, they can't hear me, I'd better pound harder! baaamm bamm, bamm, baaam, baammm!. I did my best to concentrate while cursing these would-be distractions in the small sliver of my brain not answering the interview question or filled with the noise of that back room cacophony. All in all, I thought I did pretty well, all things considered. I was promised a call back within the week but never heard from them. Can't say that I am disappointed. It's a busy environment, I get it. But does that mean one can't read a sign? I dunno. Someone doesn't answer the door after two minutes of pounding, I stop pounding. Guess I'm a quitter!

      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.

      Easy interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Trader Joe's (Atlanta, GA)

      Interview

      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.
