I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Trader Joe's (New York, NY) in July 2013
Interview
Three long interviews getting to know who you are, why TJ is the right fit for you. First turn in application, you have a screening, then following are three personal interviews, getting to know you and your previous work experience. You meet with the mate for the last interview.
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.
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.
