I applied in-person. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Trader Joe's (Des Peres, MO) in Aug 2015
Interview
Two interviews with two sets of managers. One being with the Captain or general manager of the store. They asked various questions about you and your knowledge of the business.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Are you familiar with our products and their quality?
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.
