I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Vons (Los Angeles, CA) in Nov 2010
Interview
So I applied online because there was a "Hiring Event" going on with the whole company at various locations in Los Angeles county. I got there at 8am and there were maybe 2 dozen people there before me. The manager didn't start interviewing until 9:30 a.m. And they took 6 people at a time, every 45 minutes. I didn't get out of there until noon. The actual interview was 2 minutes long, and I was not asked any professional questions. He didn't seem interested in the fact that I had a college degree, and a lot of experience. He was probably younger than me, and I'm in my early 20's. It was almost like he was looking for hot dumb girls that wouldn't mind being a courtesy clerk for the rest of their life. The experience was horrible. I knew I didn't have the job, though I applied for a different position than what most people were there for. He told me the position was now closed, and that he could "probably offer me a position in courtesy clerk. I believe I was too much for them, or overqualified.
