I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Trader Joe's (San Juan Capistrano, CA)
Interview
Very casual interview. Just show that you have good interpersonal skills, have genuine interest in helping people, and have a good attitude. If you have flexibility, demonstrate that you are able to work on the days/times they need.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Examples of working on a team? How do you fit into a team?
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.
