I applied in-person. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Publix (Daytona Beach Shores, FL) in Apr 2015
Interview
I applied at the machine at the store. I was busy for about a month with interviews with other places, but got a call from a different Publix store than the one that I applied to asking for an interview in a few days(I guess it automatically considers you for stores in the vicinity). I would hardly call it an interview though- it was very easy and I felt as if they had already decided to hire me before I even walked in. I brought my resume, but the manager only asked me a handful of questions and then had me do a drug test. The results came in a few days later and I was called and set up a time for orientation. (by the way- I think having a reference from one of my friends at that store is what distinguished me from other candidates. If you know ANYONE who works at Publix, put their name when you apply at the store)
Asked what I knew about the company. Interviewer was impressed I knew the founder and when it was founded. The interview was very easy and no prior work experience was needed.
Really was easy. Basically the only question asked was why I wanted to work there. I basically just said because I’ve always enjoyed going to Publix growing up and seeing all the employees with a smile made me know it was a good place to work.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Publix (Rolesville, NC) in Apr 2025
Interview
I applied online and I showed up at the job fair in both March to learn about the company and April to actually do my interview. It was for a new store they are opening in Rolesville.
