I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Whole Foods Market in Apr 2019
Interview
I applied on the company website and within a week, was contacted via email about a phone interview. I had my phone interview the very next day. The phone interview consisted of very basic questions and lasted all of 5 minutes. I was asked if I could come in for an interview in person for the next day. I went in for my interview and was asked if I had time to meet with the store manager after my initial supervisor interviewed me. After meeting with the store manager and having him interview me, they told me they would be in touch either way. I was contacted the same day to ask if I would come in for the group panel interview the next week.
