I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Trader Joe's (Cambridge, MA) in Nov 2009
Interview
It was very easy, and seemed to be based only on whether they liked you and thought your personality would fit the store. I had to take a math test - just adding and subtracting (they've done away with that). I had to go back a second time to meet the store Captain, but it never felt like a big deal and there was no pressure.

Question 1
None, they asked nothing challenging, and didn't bother looking at my resume.
The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Trader Joe's (Sterling, VA) in Aug 2024
Interview
I was not hired! It was a new store so it was a very competitive position. I was emailed the day after my application, but denied shortly after the call. I am under the assumption that this location prefers experienced people.
I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Trader Joe's (Cleveland, OH) in Jul 2018
Interview
Submitted an application in person. The manager who accepted the application asked me about favorite Trader Joe's products. Later received a call asking if would like to interview. Was interviewed by two managers, fairly low key but professional.
I applied in-person. I interviewed at Trader Joe's (New York, NY) in Dec 2017
Interview
Rigorous process. 2 separate interviews first with a manager and the final with the store captain. Overall the process took about 2 weeks. But also took a little bit to hear back from when I dropped off my resume.
