Rescheduled my second interview 2x and when I concluded the interview I was told that they had already hired several new members and I would not receive news on the hiring until a following week
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Favorite movie? Never was asked why I left any of my previous employers. Did not ask about what I liked about those cultures. Felt very surface
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.
