I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Giant Eagle (Sheffield Village, OH) in Aug 2011
Interview
I think this was standard for a part-time job. I had to call to see if they "had my application." They like to see persistence and the attitude that you want the job. Most who just turn in the application don't see any results, (unless the store is REALLY desperate for employees). The interview was easy enough, just basic questions and then a saliva drug test.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
There were really no difficult questions. Other than basic questions they ask about you, ("Why do you want the job?", "Do you enjoy working with people?", etc.), they'll give you some basic hypothetical questions about dealing with potential customers.
