I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Safeway (Sonoma, CA) in May 2015
Interview
Just go in, overdressed honestly. Waited for a manager to show up. I don't think the lady that interviewed was a manager. Everything seemed to be going great until I said I was leaving for a month of vacation. Now I know not to say this at an interview lol
I submitted an application in store and got called in to do an in person interview. The manager was super easy to talk to and had been with the store a long time.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why do you want to work in the deli versus other departments?
It was very informative and I felt comfortable with the knowledge that my interview would be considered with the utmost thought. I did not land the position, but have no ill will, they were right in the deli did not suit me. A barista position was far more paletteable
pretty easy and straightforward tho didn't get the job. probably shouldve done more prep. didn't have much experience with deli work which may have been why i didn't get the job but oh well
