I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Safeway (Moraga, CA)
Interview
I sent in an application and was contacted by the regional hiring person. From there I had an in person interview and filled out more paperwork. After that, I got an offer and accepted, then attended a training seminar and completed online training that for some reason had to be done in the store despite being accessible from anywhere.

In-person interview: Asked about some of my achievements, or when I had to use problem solving/leadership. It was pretty straightforward. Appreciated that I came dressed up a little. Discussed what the job would entail for me, and gave me opportunity to ask questions too.
