I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Jewel-Osco (Westchester, IL) in Jul 2018
Interview
Waited about 10mins but once I got there I was greeted by the store director. He described what working at the store would be. He asked why did I choose jewels as a job or did I see myself making it an career. Answered a few more questions and met the grocery manager 15min interview
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What experience could I bring to the store
What’s some challenges you had to face either at work or outside of work
The director interviewed me, and it was quick. I entered her office hoping I don’t stutter or lack confidence. My resume surprised her since I go to college, but I also do have retail experience. She first asked, “Tell me about yourself.” I did so and she just said “Yeah, I’m going to hire you.” After she asked what position did you apply to and I said general merchandise, but later I changed my mind to grocery. By the way, orientation takes so long!
It’s very easy just be yourself. And be presentable and show up early. If you’re feeling nervous just breathe before going in for the interview and sum affirmation words helps as well
The interview went very well. When the interviewer came out we talked, they got some basic background information and then I was asked my availability. They where then able to determine where I could be placed while taking the hours into account.
