I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Food Lion (Reidsville, NC) in Apr 2009
Interview
Completely informal. Essentially if they were willing to interview you, you were already hired. At the time of accepting the interview and offer I was asked to watch about 2 hours of videos and orientation films.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Food Lion (Salisbury, MD) in Dec 2011
Interview
Pretty smooth interview
Asked normal workplace questions.
Basically got hired on the spot because the position was vacant.
Didn't know what I was getting myself into, since I was younger and just wanted a job.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How would you work with a customer with an attitude?
How would you tell on one of your fellow employees that committed theft?
