I applied through other source. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Trader Joe's (Woodland Hills, CA) in Oct 2011
Interview
It took a while for me to get a call for an interview, but after months of waiting my time arrived. There were three different interviews with three different managers. They mostly asked of my past work experiences and future situations I would be in if I got the job.
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.
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.
