I applied in-person. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Trader Joe's (Pikesville, MD) in Sep 2014
Interview
I walked in and asked for an application then filled it in outside and returned it. I was asked a couple questions when I returned the application and was told that someone would contact me if I am selected. I got a call a couple days later for an interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why do you want to work for Trader Joe's?
What is your favorite Trader Joe's product?
Do you have open availability?
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.
I had 3 separate interviews. 1 was over the phone. 2 were in person. I never heard anything after the third interview. I called the store about a week later and they let me know they didn’t actually have any available positions. Really felt like they wasted my time.
