I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Kroger (Columbia, MO) in May 2011
Interview
I was 16 or 17 and needed a job, I had no experience and didn't want to work in food service, so grocery store. Questions were standard, what do you really need to ask a 16 year old.
Training afterwards was boring, customer service, how to bag groceries. Smile, don't steal.
Contacted for an in-person interview. Met with HG and Store Assistant Manager. Wanted to know my availability during evening and weekends. Thanked me for my time. Called the next day with a job offer.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How many hours are you available to work per week?
They were very friendly and it did not take long. They wanted to get to know me and my past experiences. I ended up having to meet with two different people during the interview
Laid back casual friendly. Lasted 30 minutes. Very straight to the point. Explained the rules and guidelines. Boiler point. One person did the interview process
Asked another 10 questions. They offered a water. The room was comfortable
