I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Whole Foods Market (Porter Ranch, CA) in May 2013
Interview
Applied online. And a few days later I got a call from Whole Foods for an interview. I showed up to the interview properly dressed with a copy of my resume. I was interviewed by a Shift Leader and two other Cashiers. I was asked the standard questions. "What are you strengths?" "What do you know about Whole foods?" " How can you contribute to this team?" "What does it mean to be Vegan vs Vegetarian?" "What makes you stand out from the other applicants?". After the interview had concluded they told me that a second interview would be done two days later with the Department Manager and that I would get a call sometime that day. Two hours later, I got a call saying that they liked me and the second interview will be set up. For the second interview I was still dressed properly and brought another copy of my resume. This time the interview was one on one, but asked the same questions. As long as you are confident and smile I think you'll be fine. Unfortunately, they decided to transfer another cashier into the store instead of hiring me. The person who called told me to keep applying as they hoped to hear from me(I don't know how truthful that was, but I re-applied to another job, I have yet to receive a reply).

I applied online. I interviewed at Whole Foods Market (Torrance, CA) in May 2026
Interview
Very easy process. One of the better experiences I’ve had. A few standard interview questions were ask, but the rest was conversational for most part. Wasn’t stressful or anything like that.
I interviewed at Whole Foods Market (Portland, OR)
Interview
A simple process of an initial screening over the phone with basic questions such as "when you can start" and "how do you plan on getting to and from work" and then meeting the supervisor in person to be interviewed with standard customer service role questions.

This interview was a very streamlined, efficient process. It was a typical behavioral style interview asking about reactions from various scenarios. The interviewer was very professional and respectful of my time and it didn't take more than 20 minutes.
