J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 1 semaine. J'ai passé un entretien chez Trader Joe's (Chicago, IL) en sept. 2025
Entretien
Really uncomfortable interview with two members of the staff. One I am assuming was a manager, the other a crew member. One of the staff members just gave me dirty looks the whole time and had zero personality. I interviewed at Ontario St. and I could sense the vibe was off the moment I walked in since the staff seemed miserable. You interview basically in the middle of a staircase and it feels like an interrogation. I checked my application status to withdraw it and it said they called me to tell me I did not receive that job. Boohoo. But also, never got a call.

Question 1
Why Trader Joe’s?
Describe someone you looked up to as a mentor.
What would a past boss say about you?
Very basic questions.
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.

Entretien
Casual, took place outside of the store. First I had a phone call interview. Then another which was in-person with 2 of the mates in the store, and finally a third in-person with the captain of the store.

Question 1
What was something I did for a friend that was above and beyond?
Different questions than I have experienced in past job interviews, but seem to be their traditional hiring questions. They want to make sure they are hiring sociable people more so than just someone that can do the job.
