I applied online. I interviewed at Trader Joe's (Chicago, IL) in Jan 2023
Interview
I applied online but also went into the store and asked if there was anyone I could talk to which helped a lot. I did my first interview with the captain which allowed me to get offered the job on the spot.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They ask how you handle bad customer behavior. They also asked me what my favorite product was.
The interview process was absolutely wonderful! I didn't feel stressed or nervous and it felt like I was just chatting with a friend! Trader Joes is a great company and the interview was great.
Very chill, asked things a lot of job interviews don't, more personal down to earth questions. Made me feel very comfortable. Professional but also cool vibes from everyone who interviewed me. Went to one interview with mates and another with the captain.
I had 3 separate interviews. 1 was over the phone. 2 were in person. I never heard anything after the third interview. I called the store about a week later and they let me know they didn’t actually have any available positions. Really felt like they wasted my time.
