I applied online. I interviewed at Whole Foods Market in Sep 2012
Interview
Finally got an interview for the 2nd round of openings of a brand new store. Interview was brief and asked basic questions such as Why do you want to work for Whole Foods? Got hired on the spot and was working 4 days later after the 3-day orientation.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
If somebody drove from out of state to purchase a specific product and it is out of stock, what would you do?
It was pretty informal. I got an email saying they wanted to interview me and asked me to send over a few different times. The process went pretty quickly once we sat down. We got right into my experience, what I liked about Whole Foods, where I saw myself in 5 years, and what my availability was. I was interviewed by both the Grocery Team Lead and the Assistant Grocery Team Lead.
The interview was short and to the point. They ask typical interview questions and are mostly interested in availability. There were like 2 managers there during the interview and I think i remember they hired me on the spot.
I interviewed at Whole Foods Market (Minneapolis, MN)
Interview
Formal sit-down interview with typical interview questions and discussion of past work experience. Overview of job responsibilities. Walkthrough of the store and department. Introduction to human resources. The 30 word requirement is ridiculous by the way.
