J'ai postulé en personne. Le processus a pris 2 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Trader Joe's (Nashville, TN) en août 2011
Entretien
I filled out an application after having a cordial conversation with an assistant manager at the Trader Joe's in Nashville TN. About a week later I had an interview with another assistant manager, and it went well. Normal questions were asked to get a sense of what you are like what you did.
The second interview came about week after that, and it was horrible. The main manager was really suspicious of me for some reason. Maybe he thought I was a corporate spy or something. He kept on interpreting my questions as inappropriate attempts to find out financial secrets, which is totally not true and no sane interviewer would interpret them that way. I suspect that he thought I was overqualified (I have a B.A. and good grades from a respectable university) or I am a corporate spy (which I am definitely not). I've worked years in retail and grocery stores, so it really didn't make sense.
I got a phone call about a week later saying they chose someone else, and they flat out refused to give me any feedback. A really negative experience, and now I really don't feel like ever shopping there again. The head manager seems light years away from the brand image they want to project.

If you could wish for any job from a genie, what job would it be?

It's two to three interviews, the final with the Captain (or highest manager) of the store. The interviews are largely to get to know your personality and how well you would do at customer service.
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.
