I applied in-person. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Trader Joe's (San Diego, CA) in Sept 2015
Interview
Dropped off resume, got a call a day later, went into an interview next day, second interview 2 days later. Got hired on the 7th day. Easy and fast response which makes it easy for those looking for work.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What do I enjoy about teamwork and how can I add aid to the team.
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.
