I applied online. I interviewed at Giant Eagle (Brookville, PA) in Mar 2012
Interview
There was a brief phone interview with a recruiter, and then an interview with the recruiter and team leader at the store. The phone interview was the basic "what kind of employee are you" questions, and the actual interview had a lot more in-depth questions about your work ethic and how you would react in certain situations. There's also a long application online with several interview like questions when you apply.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The team leader asked about specific situations at the store. For example: If you see a mother and child playing around and the child is hanging off of the cart and you know this is dangerous, what do you do?
Phone interview where they ask basic questions. Super easy, just make sure you don’t miss the call or they will cancel the interview and not reschedule without a valid reason.
Easy. Just be yourself. They are looking for someone in a fast-paced environment and that can handle busy rushes. Takes about a week for the interview process. In person interview and then a call back.
The interviewer was relaxed and friendly. I was asked lots of questions about prior work experience. Many required remembering past scenarios and providing details about how I handled the situation.
