I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Publix (Saint Petersburg, FL) in Aug 2015
Interview
The interview went fairly well. Asked me questions like where do I see myself in 5 years and why I want to work at Publix. It's not hard at all and it was a cool experience working at Publix. There was room to grow and improve but it's all about what you put into it.
Relaxed one on one interview process. They want to know why want to work at Publix, how you will handle angry customers, and what your weekly shift availbility is. They prioritize candidates who can work busy retail hours, such as weekends, late evenings, and early mornings.
Get asked about yourself, your goals, how you approach providing premiere customer service. They also ask what you availability is like. I thought it would be more nerve racking than it was.
