I applied in-person. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Safeway Canada
Interview
They did not ask any questions other than scheduling logistics. I just told them what days I couldn't work. Overall very casual and easy. Just make sure you are well presented.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Safeway Canada (Edmonton, AB)
Interview
It was easy; I got a call, went in a day later, was hired within the week.
I was asked a few basic questions, mostly about my availability and desire to work there.
I asked three questions (who would I work with, what is hard about this job and what is easy, and what the liked and disliked about working at safeway) which the interviewer really liked.
Even that day, I knew I got the job as the manager (who was really nice and not at all like my experience with the superiors in deli) kept asking about my hours and displayed training schedules.
Interview was easy. Manager did not ask many questions. Only ask for reason you choose to work here and your availability. Got hired after 2 days. Easy easy easy easy
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Safeway Canada (Vancouver, BC) in Jan 2017
Interview
The online application was very simple and easy. I got a phone call from the store manager shortly after. My interview took place on foot walking around the store, ending in around 15 minutes with the interviewer complimenting me on my resume. I expect most other interviews would last longer than mine did.
