I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Trader Joe's (Goleta, CA) in Aug 2013
Interview
Very simple interview. They ask why you want to work there. They ask what you like about the store, favorite products, etc. Very non discriminatory. Easy interview with two of the mates. No dress code.
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.
I had 3 separate interviews. 1 was over the phone. 2 were in person. I never heard anything after the third interview. I called the store about a week later and they let me know they didn’t actually have any available positions. Really felt like they wasted my time.
