I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Whole Foods Market (Louisville, KY) in May 2013
Interview
I was interviewed by four people in two groups of two. Everyone was very relaxed, extremely kind and very pleased to be interacting with me. They asked me why I wanted to work at whole foods. Generally, they are trying to gauge what type of person you are. Whole Foods is very hip and extremely passionate about customer satisfaction. If you are a people person, that is the most important thing they look at. Everyone there is extremely kind and very happy with there job. You must fit into the culture or whole foods isn't for you. This isn't Wal-Mart or Target, the culture is extremely important to Whole Foods.

Don't remember anything specific but generally the hardest questions revolved around why I wanted to work at Whole Foods and questions gauging my customer service abilities. Personality was always the underlining trait they are trying to gauge with the questions.

Very easy process. One of the better experiences I’ve had. A few standard interview questions were ask, but the rest was conversational for most part. Wasn’t stressful or anything like that.
