Are you positive you can life 50 lbs? (sexist overtones)
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Whole Foods Market (Boulder, CO) in Jan 2012
Interview
The Whole Foods hiring process is designed to be difficult to insiders and simultaneously "wow" outsiders... don't fool yourself, Whole Foods is a complete joke of a company designed to churn through employees in order to avoid giving raises. My advice? Get a REAL job or force Whole Foods to unionize (or close).
