I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Publix (Tallahassee, FL) in Oct 2012
Interview
I got called in for an interview with the Deli Manager. He asked me a few basic questions about previous work experience and why I think Publix is the right company for me. The interview went well, and he hired me on the spot.
