I applied in-person. I interviewed at Publix (Jacksonville, FL) in Feb 2015
Interview
The hiring manager was very polite, attentive and straight to the point. I was asked the standard questions of "Where do you see yourself in 10 years," and "What would you like to get out of your career," so on and so forth. I was drug tested as is the standard and it only took a few seconds. Nothing was uncomfortable, the interview was as relaxed as an interview could be but still maintained a professional tone throughout.
East interview, greeted by assistant manager. Very friendly staff as well. Thirty minutes no more than forty minutes. Also got to meet the store manager, great environment overall. Dressed business casual
This is one of the easiest interviews I’ve encountered. Be yourself, it’ll take you far. They love someone who wants to tend to the customer at almost any cost, a team player, and one who takes time management seriously.
