I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Trader Joe's (Dallas, TX) in Feb 2016
Interview
In and out. Easiest job interview ever with high energy interviewers.
Overall I think it took 30 minutes, including walking in and out of the store. There were no trick questions and everyone was SO nice!
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
If you were an animal, which would you be and why?
It's two to three interviews, the final with the Captain (or highest manager) of the store. The interviews are largely to get to know your personality and how well you would do at customer service.
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.
