I applied in-person. The process took 6 months. I interviewed at Publix (Miami, FL) in Feb 2016
Interview
Once you have applied in the store's computer, you need to make sure to refresh your application before the 30 days expire. I did this for about 6 months before I was called for the interview. At the interview, the manager was very professional and direct about the job expectations and the starting pay rate, which is non negotiable and standard for every new hire. The process was easy and I was offered a job the same day. Thank you!!!
