I applied in-person. I interviewed at Trader Joe's (Atlanta, GA) in May 2015
Interview
There are three interviews, the first is when you drop off your application and they ask why you're interested and what you love about Trader Joe's. The second is with a mate and the third is with the captain.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What is your favorite product?
When was a time you went above and beyond for a customer?
Describe a difficult encounter with a customer and how did you handle it?
What did you like/dislike about your last manager?
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.
