I applied online. I interviewed at Safeway (Houston, TX)
Interview
There was one interview. The questions were pretty typical for an interview process. You submit your resume online and if they accept, you will be called in for an interview. The interview was a 1 on 1 with the assistant store manager. She asked the typical questions you would hear during an interview. If they decide to hire you, you have to take a produce code test to test your memorization skills and if you fail you are demoted to a service clerk. You are given the chance to retake the test after a period of time so there are plenty of chances to get promoted to a cashier.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
All questions were pretty standard interview questions. Question: How would you handle an upset customer?
It was fast and easy, very proactive people and organized. On the first day I received the call, and I was happy about it. They hire fast. If in the first 2 weeks you don't receive a call, check again.
Didn't ask any hard questions, just when availability was and if was over 18 (in order to be cashier). Didn't have to wait long to be called into the office.
I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Safeway (Vallejo, CA) in Mar 2023
Interview
When I came in for the interview, I was brought back to the office. We went over previous work scenarios and how I handled them. I was given a choice between two departments. I received an offer letter then and there.
