I applied through other source. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Publix (Valrico, FL) in Jan 2013
Interview
I filled out the in-store application at one of the application centers and later got a call from a different store asking to set up an interview about a week later. I accepted, went in to the store and waited for what seemed forever (but what was actually most likely ten minutes). After a manager welcomed me, I followed her into a back room where the interview took place with a different manager. Overall it was a pretty easy interview, he commented that I was polite, but a little quiet though (although that came from my nervousness). The only things he asked were if I was willing to do the job and other "chores" around the store, what my hobbies were, and things of that nature and after that, it was my turn for questions. I mainly went with stuff like "What will my schedule be like?" and "When can I expect to hear from you on a decision?". He told me about a week from then and sure enough, I got the call asking if I still would like the job. I accepted and went in to get my drug test (well, drug test permission paper, because I was a minor but the drug test was the next day) but while the manager that administered the drug test said I would hear back in a couple days, it took a week for the results to come back, which was sort of unsettling because I didn't get any notification it would be late. But following the results I went into training and started my first day a week from then.

Question 1
Tell me when you turned around a negative situation.
First, you have to take an online assessment during the application and then you get scheduled for an in-person interview if they like your responses. The assessment was pretty lengthy and had a variety of customer service and situational questions, and the interview was pretty serious for the low level position I was taking.
