I applied in-person. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Trader Joe's (Wilmington, DE) in Jan 2007
Interview
Applied in the store. Very hectic, interviewed in break room; no privacy - a little awkward. Management was constantly being pulled from interview.
My advice: just keep smiling - they love happy, upbeat people who work very hard. Stress that you are always punctual and like to work physically hard. I would also recommend that you shop their a few times to get the vibe of the store and to learn about their products. Talk about how delicious their food is and what a bargain it is.

Other Crew Member Interview Reviews for Trader Joe's
It's two to three interviews, the final with the Captain (or highest manager) of the store. The interviews are largely to get to know your personality and how well you would do at customer service.
The interview process was absolutely wonderful! I didn't feel stressed or nervous and it felt like I was just chatting with a friend! Trader Joes is a great company and the interview was great.
Very chill, asked things a lot of job interviews don't, more personal down to earth questions. Made me feel very comfortable. Professional but also cool vibes from everyone who interviewed me. Went to one interview with mates and another with the captain.
