      Crew Member Interview

      1 Jul 2016
      Anonymous employee
      Santa Rosa, CA
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied in-person. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Trader Joe's (Santa Rosa, CA) in Jun 2016

      Interview

      I applied in person on a Saturday and filled out a paper application while I was there since it was very short( I tried to apply online weeks earlier only to find out that they don't use them for new hires). On Sunday, they called me back to set up an interview(the call didn't show up but I found the voicemail Monday morning). I called them back and they told me to come in the next day. When I walked in, the atmosphere was pretty relaxed, and since they weren't ready they told me to go look around the store until they needed me. A few minutes later, they called me back to talk in a group consisting of mates and the captain(I didn't know it was the captain until my first day...). They asked a few questions about where I came from, how my previous jobs went, and what were my aspirations for after I get out of college. Towards the end of the interview, the captain started to set up my next meeting, which would be to fill out paperwork. At this point, I was not aware that I got the job, but I got a call later that week asking me when I could come in to do paperwork. I had to explain that I already was scheduled to do paperwork and they ended up telling me that I somehow got the job that same day.

      I interviewed at Trader Joe's (Boston, MA)

      Interview

      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.

      Easy interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Trader Joe's (Atlanta, GA)

      Interview

      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.
