I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Trader Joe's in Oct 2021
Interview
The interview process for me was easy and quick. I interviewed one day and was offered to start immediately. I guess this will depend on your location. I was interviewed by a mate and then the captain.
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.
