I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Safeway (Menlo Park, CA) in Aug 2020
Interview
I applied online and a month later, I got a call from Safeway asking me to come in and do an interview. They asked me some questions and offered me a job right afterwards. I started training two days after that.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What is your best/worst customer service experience?
It was fast and easy, very proactive people and organized. On the first day I received the call, and I was happy about it. They hire fast. If in the first 2 weeks you don't receive a call, check again.
Didn't ask any hard questions, just when availability was and if was over 18 (in order to be cashier). Didn't have to wait long to be called into the office.
I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Safeway (Vallejo, CA) in Mar 2023
Interview
When I came in for the interview, I was brought back to the office. We went over previous work scenarios and how I handled them. I was given a choice between two departments. I received an offer letter then and there.
