I applied online. I interviewed at Trader Joe's (Laguna Niguel, CA) in Sep 2022
Interview
There are always at least 2 interviews with Trader Joe's so I was not offered the job after the first one. The first interview was with a Mate. He was super friendly. He asked a few questions and then explained the details of the job. The questions mostly related to my previous job experience and team work. I received a call a few days later about a second interview.
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.
