I applied in-person. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Trader Joe's (Philadelphia, PA) in May 2015
Interview
I interviewed about 4 different times before getting the job. Every interaction I had with a mate was a positive experience and the interviews were comfortable. They asked a lot of situational questions about how you would help a customer, so it is best to go in thinking as if you already work there.
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.
