I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Publix in Sept 2015
Interview
I was called on a Wednesday for an interview and ended up having the interview the next day. The actual interview was really laid back. I interviewed with the assistant store manager, which is unusual but, it helped in the over process. He explained what Publix stood for and a few of the benifits they offer. After that he gave me the opportunity to get to know each other. Simple questions with simple answers. The interview lasted about 20 minutes. I did not receive an offer that day but received one the next morning. I accepted and look forward to working with Publix!
