I applied in-person. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Trader Joe's (Winter Park, FL) in Jun 2015
Interview
A Mate brings you aside for a few questions. Told me to come in again for another interview with the Captain. Then I received a phone call later saying I got the job. If you don't get it, they supposedly send you a letter.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
List three qualities about yourself that would benefit Trader Joe's. Basic interview questions.
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.
