I applied through other source. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Safeway (Seattle, WA) in June 2014
Interview
Pretty standard interview and interview questions. The whole job is obviously very service based, so your answers should be a combination of following the rules/Safeway dogma and bending over backwards for customers.
They did a mouth-swab drug test, but I don't know if this is how they do it everywhere. Realistically, once you've been hired, you would only ever be re-tested if you:
- Were obviously on drugs at work.
- Management was looking for a reason to fire you.
- If you were involved in some sort of accident. This is because there has to be an investigation into every injury/accident in a store, and if you test positive (doesn't matter for what) Safeway is relieved of any responsibility, you don't get any sick pay (or the injury equivalent), and they can let you go if they choose.
None of this is unusual for retail jobs, but be careful and protect yourself.
Great we had a lot of questions and answers back and forth repeatedly and information back and forth again it was a good conversation. I would want to interview again one at a time and more information would be used
Simple questions and fairly easy. It contains your basic interview questions like why should we hire you and questions like that. They asked about four questions and I got an offer fairly quick.
so easy anyone could pass, very doable questions and even got the offer on the spot. i felt really confident in every single question i answered. the lady was very nice.
