I applied through an employee referral. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Publix (Sarasota, FL) in Oct 2011
Interview
Asked about previous work experience. Pretty easy going, wore a suit. I had to know someone to get the interview however. Be able to describe challenges you've faced. Be able to work well in a team environment and just stress the importance of giving the publix persona. Publix is all about image so dress to impress.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Can you describe your customer service responsibilities at your previous job?
Asked what I knew about the company. Interviewer was impressed I knew the founder and when it was founded. The interview was very easy and no prior work experience was needed.
Really was easy. Basically the only question asked was why I wanted to work there. I basically just said because I’ve always enjoyed going to Publix growing up and seeing all the employees with a smile made me know it was a good place to work.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Publix (Rolesville, NC) in Apr 2025
Interview
I applied online and I showed up at the job fair in both March to learn about the company and April to actually do my interview. It was for a new store they are opening in Rolesville.
