I applied in-person. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Trader Joe's (Santa Rosa, CA)
Interview
Meet with manager(sl, be prepared to talk about customer service and your favorite TJ's item. You may be expected to be available for different shifts as early as 5 am or as late as midnight, or later. So if you have strict availability, stick to that but be prepared to possibly not get the job.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What is your favorite Trader Joe's product and why?
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.
Very chill, asked things a lot of job interviews don't, more personal down to earth questions. Made me feel very comfortable. Professional but also cool vibes from everyone who interviewed me. Went to one interview with mates and another with the captain.
