Me postulé a través de una recomendación de un empleado. Acudí a una entrevista en Trader Joe's (Arlington, VA) en ago 2014
Entrevista
The interview process was extremely lengthy. When I initially applied I was told someone would contact me within a week. After not hearing anything for 2 weeks I called the store and spoke with the manager. She had been on vacation. After the first interview I was scheduled for a second interview at another location. The manager from that store called me the day before he was going on vacation. I waited an additional week to talk with him, and then another week for the interview, which was sent to yet another location. After that interview I was setup to speak with the district manager, at another location. I heard back 3 days later only to be offered a position I didn't apply for. The whole process took nearly 6 weeks. I feel it was a complete waste of time. It seems very mismanaged and unprofessional. The questions the district manager asked didn't seem relevant to my resume. She seemed more interested in getting information about my current employer.

Incredibly easy and to the point. Asked about resume, prior exp, why I'm a fit, all the basics. I ended up being accepted for the role but declined due to a better offer elsewhere.

Simple process but you are interviewed by two people at the same time and interviews arent specifically as scheduled so it may take a few minutes to an hour for the interview the start which happens to be very brief

This is a three step process once you have applied for the position. First is with the Captain and another Mate in the store. They have a list of questions (2 pages) of different scenarios that have you describe different situations. How you would handle or have handled different situations etc. If you interview well, next step is a zoom with another Captain of a different store (can be in another state) and those are further in depth about yourself and how the crew and others perceive you. Again more situational questions and how you handle them. The Captain you interviewed with will give their feedback and if all good you, you have a zoom interview with the regional who gets into more situation questions or what is your "why" at wanting to become a mate type of questions. The regional then discusses the interview with the store Captain and gives feedback and the red or green light on the promotion.
