I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Trader Joe's (Los Angeles, CA)
Interview
I went to Trader Joe’s in-person to pick up an application. I turned in the application the next day & the manager I turned it into asked me a few questions, so be prepared. Soon after, he called me to schedule my 1st interview. The interview process consist of meeting with two “Mates” & then the “Captain”. If you do well in the first two interviews you may get the job then & there. The Captain didn’t even want to interview me, he just said to hire me!
Applied online and had one in person interview with the captain. It lasted maybe 10 minutes. Got a call a week or so later that I got the job. Very fast process.
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.
