Question 1
realistically, there was no difficult or unexpected question. the manager liked my resume and sent it to headquarters to see if i would fit in the main office.
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.
