I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Trader Joe's
Interview
First your asked on the spot what your favorite TJ item is. Next you are called in about a week or 2 for an interview if they liked your resume. The interview can be 1 on 1 or with 2 Mates. Once you pass that interview there was one more about a week away with another 1 or 2 mates. Overall fast and not very bureaucratic.
It's two to three interviews, the final with the Captain (or highest manager) of the store. The interviews are largely to get to know your personality and how well you would do at customer service.
The interview process was absolutely wonderful! I didn't feel stressed or nervous and it felt like I was just chatting with a friend! Trader Joes is a great company and the interview was great.
Very chill, asked things a lot of job interviews don't, more personal down to earth questions. Made me feel very comfortable. Professional but also cool vibes from everyone who interviewed me. Went to one interview with mates and another with the captain.
