      Crew Member Interview

      Jun 28, 2016
      Anonymous employee
      San Clemente, CA
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied in-person. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Trader Joe's (San Clemente, CA) in May 2016

      Interview

      I first walked in to the store and delivered my application to a Mate, he asked a couple questions about why I wanted to apply, then he said that they would review my application and call me to let me know whether if the process would go further or not, he also gave me a contact card and advised me to call him if i had any questions. Two days later I received a call from one of the store manager to set up an interview, the interview happened the next day and it was with 2 store managers, they were both very friendly and professional. After concluding this interview, I was told I'd be called back again whether to continue the interview process or to be told it wouldn't go any further. I received a third call a couple days later to set up a third and final interview with 2 other store managers and 1 day later I got a call saying that they'd like to include me in their team.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      How would you handle a frustrated customer? What would you say if a customer is looking for a seasonal product that is currently out until next year? What experience do you have? Are you okay with working weekends and either coming in at 4 or leaving at 10? Are you okay with doing a job that can get pretty physically challenging (lifting boxes, pulling carts, etc)?

      Easy interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Trader Joe's (Atlanta, GA)

      Interview

      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.

      Application

      I interviewed at Trader Joe's

      Interview

      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.
