I applied in-person. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Trader Joe's (Portland, OR) in Sept 2016
Interview
Called a few day days after handing in an application, met with two very professional managers. We discussed my interests, prior work history, and why I was applying to the store. The interview was very relaxed and personal.
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.
