I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Trader Joe's (Olympia, WA) in Oct 2022
Interview
Simple sit-down chat next door at Barns and Noble where they asked me a series of "get to know you" type questions. Very casual. It would be wise to brush up on the top most asked general interview questions as well,
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.
