      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied in-person. I interviewed at Safeway

      Interview

      You will have to fill out an application online. Best practice is to go into a store after filling out the application and ask to speak to the hiring coordinator. All questions will be towards customer service.

      Journeyman Food Clerk Interview

      Nov 5, 2014
      Anonymous employee
      Seattle, WA
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Safeway (Seattle, WA) in Nov 2012

      Interview

      It's been a while since I was interviewed, but if I recall correctly the interview process was mostly to assess my communication abilities, if I had dealt with difficult customers in the past, how I had risen to the occasion to help a customer who was upset or experiencing some level of challenge. The interviewer checked with me to make sure I would be capable of memorizing produce codes, and how I was at cash handling, if I'd had experience working a register before. They also end it by making sure that you are willing to join the union, because as a union store, if you do not you will be terminated at the end of your 90 day trial period. Then, if you have been selected as a possible hire, they will give you a drug test which you must pass in order to be hired. It was all very straight forward and simple.

      Question 1

      I didn't feel any difficulty towards the questions.
