      Crew Member Interview

      7 Sept 2019
      Anonymous employee
      New York, NY
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Trader Joe's (New York, NY) in Sept 2019

      Interview

      I went in-store (on a Saturday) to turn in my application but when I got there, I spoke to a mate and he said that they were only taking online applications so I went home and submitted the application. About 2 hours later, I got an email saying that they wanted to interview me, so I called to set up the interview. When I called, they said that the earliest interview they had was the following Friday at 6:30pm. That Friday, I walked in and told the mate that I was there for an interview and she said she would be right with me. A couple minutes later, she took me into a back room. The interview lasted about half an hour. She asked me a lot about my work experience as well as customer service experiences and stuff like that. Pretty generic for a retail interview. At the end of the interview, she told me that they would let me know in 7-10 days what the next step is whether I have to come in for another interview or if they wouldn't be proceeding with my application. The next day, I got a call telling me that I got the job.

      Easy interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Trader Joe's (Atlanta, GA)

      Interview

      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.
