HEB uses behavioral based interviewing. They always interview in pairs using what they call "competencies." Their watch-outs are dictator style leadership responses. You must talk servant leadership if you want to be successful in an interview with them. HEB follows the "HEB Way" of leadership which includes, A heart for people, a head for business, and a passion for results.

I applied online and received an automated email saying that I was not being considered for the position. (I had an individual who WORKED FOR ME apply and he received a call back. He was not interested in working at the distribution center that was looking to hire.) I contacted a recruiter and was told they didn't understand why my resume was not considered. I worked my way into a face to face interview. I waited for over an hour after my interview time. Ok... no biggie. I finally head back and begin the interview. I felt great about the interview. They asked if I had any questions at the end. I asked a few and they were answered. My final question was....if you do not consider me for the position would you give me a call back and let me know what the reasoning was behind me being looked over. I was told absolutly! I waited for several weeks. I received another automated e-mail stating I was not going to be considered for the position. No phone call, personal e-mail or anything like I said I would get. Well a couple months later I happen to run into the recruiter that got me in the interview. I asked her if she knew why I was not considered. She told me that she was told that I did not have enough leadership or transportation experience. Hmmmm. I served 21 years in the Military as enlisted and officer. I managed teams from 25 to over 300 personnel. I have a degree in transportation and spent all 21 years in transportation management! I just wish they could have been honest with me.
