I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Whole Foods Market in Feb 2011
Interview
I applied online then stopped into the store. I met with the Team Leader who then introduced me to the Assistant Store Team Leader. I was advised to make contact with as many Team Members throughout the store as possible before the interview. I was also to have a 30, 60, 90 day 'action plan' to discuss at the interview. All of the questions listed on other glassdoor reviews were asked.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Why should we hire you over the internal candidate?
It was a pretty easy process. I applied online, and I believe I got an interview a week or 2 after. I got interviewed by the ATL and the TL, and they asked me questions about my experience.
Fairly easy. Just asked about schedule (what days you can work and if you have any vacations coming up) and if there was any prior experience. Didn’t ask very many difficult questions

Question 1
What days are you available to work? Any vacations coming up?
VERY quick. It was a phone interview and the manager just asked "Why Whole Foods?" I had an answer prepared and he almost cut me off after my first sentence. I don't think he actually cared about my answer.
