Interview
I was working at another grocery store but a friend had recommended I try this company out as it appeared to have great advancement potential. I applied in person and filled out my application. I received a call back a few days later and came in for an interview a day or two after that. I was asked to return for a second interview a few days after that. That was a much quicker interview and I was officially offered the position. The hiring process was fairly quick. A drug test was mandatory, but with all the newhire paperwork and background checks etc, I started roughly two weeks later after giving notice to my previous employer.
