I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Trader Joe's in May 2022
Interview
the interview was held by two guys one of them had the clipboard with the questions the other was just there it took like fifteen minutes and they ask the generic questions while also asking you specifically about why trader joes
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
what your favorite trader joe's product is
how you would deal with a difficult customer
two interviews one with mate then one on another day with the captain - basically the same questions at both and the typical questions you would expect strengths/weaknesses, what makes you a good employee, what makes you like an employer
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.

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.
