I applied online. I interviewed at Fred Meyer (Bellingham, WA) in Aug 2013
Interview
Applied online, got a call a few weeks later to schedule an interview, went in for the interview the next day. I applied for the Cashier position, but they no longer had any cashier positions available. They had a white board where they wrote all of the available positions, and let me choose. The only option that worked with my schedule was the one bagging groceries at the register. The interview was easy, I mentioned that I was interested in their Cultural Councils, and how they have their associates volunteer on occasion (I did quite a bit of research on their website and it really paid off). She loved that, and loved that I loved volunteering (I don't have a lot of job experience, but plenty of volunteer experience). I stressed how much I loved working with people, and providing great customer service. She offered me the job right there, and would have drug tested me also, but they were out, so I went back for a drug test two days later.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Fred Meyer (Tumwater, WA) in Apr 2018
Interview
After a brief phone interview, I was scheduled an interview at 1:30 pm. I arrived 15 minutes early, as is usually expected in job interviews. I reported to the Customer Service counter, as I was told to at the end of the phone interview. They could not get ahold of my interviewer until a few minutes after my interview time. She said she would be right out, and took 15 minutes to get there. The whole time I was standing near the customer service counter trying to stay out of the way of shoppers.
The interview itself was pretty standard. It took place in a tiny office space in an employees section of the store.
I got a response via email a day later saying they decided to go in a different direction.
