I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Trader Joe's (New York, NY) in Apr 2016
Interview
Handed in my application in person and got a couple questions on the spot about my last job, what I liked about it, my favorite TJ's product, etc.
Got a call a week later for an interview. Got the standard "tell me about yourself" on top of what my coworkers would say about me, what I loved and hated about my last job, what challenges I faced, how I like to have fun at work. It was all pretty casual and relaxing.
Called to check up with them a week later and got invited to a second interview, which is coming up soon.
The interview process was absolutely wonderful! I didn't feel stressed or nervous and it felt like I was just chatting with a friend! Trader Joes is a great company and the interview was great.
I had 3 separate interviews. 1 was over the phone. 2 were in person. I never heard anything after the third interview. I called the store about a week later and they let me know they didn’t actually have any available positions. Really felt like they wasted my time.
Very chill, asked things a lot of job interviews don't, more personal down to earth questions. Made me feel very comfortable. Professional but also cool vibes from everyone who interviewed me. Went to one interview with mates and another with the captain.
