I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Trader Joe's (San Juan Capistrano, CA)
Interview
Very casual interview. Just show that you have good interpersonal skills, have genuine interest in helping people, and have a good attitude. If you have flexibility, demonstrate that you are able to work on the days/times they need.

Question 1
Examples of working on a team? How do you fit into a team?
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.
I applied in-person. I interviewed at Trader Joe's (West Hollywood, CA)
Interview
Casual, took place outside of the store. First I had a phone call interview. Then another which was in-person with 2 of the mates in the store, and finally a third in-person with the captain of the store.
