The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Trader Joe's in Dec 2011
Interview
I applied twice, and only got accepted to come in for an interview after the second. After the first interview, there was no response for a while, so I called in and they offered me another interview with the Captain and one of his employees. Again, not much response after, and I thought I didn't get it. I called up there, and told them I was still waiting to hear. Not long after they offered me the job!
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What do you not do well/where do you need improvement?
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.
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.
I applied in-person. I interviewed at Trader Joe's (West Hollywood, CA)
Interview
Casual, took place outside of the store. First I had a phone call interview. Then another which was in-person with 2 of the mates in the store, and finally a third in-person with the captain of the store.
