I applied in-person. I interviewed at Trader Joe's (Long Beach, NY) in Apr 2018
Interview
Asked about previous experience and what my favorite item from the store was. It was mainly an informational interview more than a typical question and answer structure as the job requires little experience.
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.
