      Crew Member Interview

      Oct 8, 2019
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Trader Joe's in Sep 2019

      Interview

      It took me 2 weeks. I applied online, got email two days late to schedule first interview. I got 2nd interview and 3rd interview right after each interview. I had another offer from other company, so I told them that I need to know the result since I have to answer the other offer, but then they said they have to go through the process, and meet all the candidates. It will be up to me to decide if I take the other offer or wait. 3rd interview which is with captain told me that he will let me know within a week. so I decided to go with trader Joe's and waited, nothing happen. But then I saw that they placed new ads for the same position. so I called them, they said the captain is not here, will be back in 2 days. so I left a message for him. after that I went to their website that I applied and found out that I wasn't selected. Next day, I received the email from the captain. That he wish that he could offer me the job, but so many applicants with limited spots. This time I wasn't selected but he recommended me to put myself in possible hire for the future. Well. If there are not enough spots for me why do the place the add for the same job right after ? I turned other job offer down to hopefully getting this job, but ended up he didn't even contact me. If he contacted me early enough, I didn't need be out of job right now!!

      Super easy just be yourself and know the products and you will pass with flying colors. Make sure you are available to work weekends, they usually prefer people to close which can be annoying.

      I interviewed at Trader Joe's (Batavia, IL)

      Interview

      It was quick and seamless and they let me know in ample time. It was a painless process and the crew was quick to give honest opinions about working there. The Captain changed but at the time turnover wasn't high.
