I applied in-person. The process took 6 days. I interviewed at Trader Joe's (Chicago, IL)
Interview
1st) Print out the application online and hand in to the store.
2nd) They schedule a first interview with -- in my case -- two "mates"/managers
3rd) Interview with store captain
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
It's really basic. Just know their values -- hint: "value" is their main value.
Applied online and had one in person interview with the captain. It lasted maybe 10 minutes. Got a call a week or so later that I got the job. Very fast process.
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.
