I applied in-person. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Trader Joe's (Santa Monica, CA) in Feb 2015
Interview
It was short and to the point. They asked why trader Joes and what I was contributing to the table. They were constantly looking for the eye contact and the genuine go-getter attitude. They were adamant about being a fun hard worker if employed.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What kind of customer service experience did I have.
The interview process was absolutely wonderful! I didn't feel stressed or nervous and it felt like I was just chatting with a friend! Trader Joes is a great company and the interview was great.
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.
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.
