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.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Trader Joe's (New York, NY) in Aug 2021
Interview
You'll have an interview with one or two mates (managers). Casual outfit is fine, just make sure you look put-together. Have some TJ's products to rattle off- you'll need it! Just talk about why you like interacting with people or customer service. If you're friendly and genuine, you'll do great!
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe a difficult situation in your workplace and how you handled it.
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.
