I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Trader Joe's (Detroit, MI) in June 2015
Interview
In person by a Mate in the store review resume. Second interview with the Captain and a Mate. Most important if you want the job is to be positive, smile and be familiar with the store you are applying to.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe a angry customer and how your would approach them and solve their problem?
It's two to three interviews, the final with the Captain (or highest manager) of the store. The interviews are largely to get to know your personality and how well you would do at customer service.
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.
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.
