I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Whole Foods Market (Milford, CT) in Jan 2014
Interview
I had applied for the job online, proceeded to call them, and followed up shortly after with an interview. There was a series of 2 interviews: one within the department lead and one with the store management. The interview was relaxed, easy process to more or less see how you carry yourself as an employee.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
One question they asked was how did you handle yourself in a previous experience where there was a conflict at your job.
It was pretty informal. I got an email saying they wanted to interview me and asked me to send over a few different times. The process went pretty quickly once we sat down. We got right into my experience, what I liked about Whole Foods, where I saw myself in 5 years, and what my availability was. I was interviewed by both the Grocery Team Lead and the Assistant Grocery Team Lead.
The interview was short and to the point. They ask typical interview questions and are mostly interested in availability. There were like 2 managers there during the interview and I think i remember they hired me on the spot.
I interviewed at Whole Foods Market (Minneapolis, MN)
Interview
Formal sit-down interview with typical interview questions and discussion of past work experience. Overview of job responsibilities. Walkthrough of the store and department. Introduction to human resources. The 30 word requirement is ridiculous by the way.
