Don’t attend a Trader Joe’s job fair if you aren’t prepared for an interview. I was under the impression that the job fair would be informational, and I could decide whether or not I wanted to apply later on. Instead, I was greeted by members of their leadership team at a table and directed to sign in. They told me if I hadn’t already submitted an application online, to do so and check back in at the table. After rushing to submit my resume and application, I was called to have an interview. If you’re the kind of person that wants or needs time to prepare for interviews, I highly recommend applying online and preparing for an interview prior to attending a job fair.

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.
