I applied through other source. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Safeway (Mountain View, CA) in Feb 2013
Interview
Got a number and waited in line. Waited 2 hours before getting to front of line. Checked in, got asked for hours available, emphasized weekends; why you want to here. Then waited some more to get actually interviewed, where the interviewer was basically asking the basic interview questions and filling it out. I think there might have been a second round of interviews after, maybe with the store manager.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me a time about when you had to pick up the slack. eg. A coworker isn't up to speed...
It was fast and easy, very proactive people and organized. On the first day I received the call, and I was happy about it. They hire fast. If in the first 2 weeks you don't receive a call, check again.
Didn't ask any hard questions, just when availability was and if was over 18 (in order to be cashier). Didn't have to wait long to be called into the office.
I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Safeway (Vallejo, CA) in Mar 2023
Interview
When I came in for the interview, I was brought back to the office. We went over previous work scenarios and how I handled them. I was given a choice between two departments. I received an offer letter then and there.
