I applied in-person. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Trader Joe's in Jan 2014

first you fill out an application then you hand it in and speak to one of the Mates, they review it, set up an interview with the captin or other mate then you off from there.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
it's all generally easy and straight to the point questions.
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.
