I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Food Lion (Fredericksburg, VA) in July 2013
Interview
Arrived at the store and was taken into the very small office. Interviewer was assistant front end manager, she was very engaging and helpful, made the whole interview seem more like a conversation with a friend rather then an interview, while still being professional. Walked around the store on a mock shopping trip, before returning to the office for paperwork.
The interview was pretty much a regular and easy experienced. I was not asked any questions that were difficult to answer or required much of a thought process beyond common sense.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Do you have experience as a cashier and with money?
Straightforward online interview with minimal in person. Questions online, followed up with phone and some final in person admin work. This was a pretty simple process that required very little time and investment on my end.
Came into the store and met with the manager who asked me about myself and my experience, asked a few questions relevant to the job, told me about the job and the onboarding process, asked if I had any questions, then started the necessary hiring paperwork.
