I put in an application online for a new Earth Fare store. About a week later, I was told to print an application, fill it out, and bring it to the Chattanooga location because the Hixson one wasn't done yet. A week after that, I got a call for an interview at the Chattanooga store. When I got there, the cashier had no clue why I was there. After finding a manager, she also had no clue. She told me there was no one to interview me. They asked who called me, when I was supposed to be there, and what I applied for. Apparently, there was no communication. So, the first manager said she'd just interview me. After being there for about 30 minutes, she gave me ANOTHER paper application to fill out so she'd 'have something to go off of.' After the interview, she said I'd be a great asset to EF's team, and I never heard from them again. I'm happy I didn't get the job due to the obvious disorganization and lack of communication/professionalism.

The interview process was very short because I was overqualified. I spoke one-on-one with the Front End Manager. He asked me about my past work experience and why I picked Earth Fare. He also asked if I'd like to move into a bookkeeping role soon after starting.

I put in an application online for a job at a new Earth Fare store. About a week later, they sent me an email inviting me to a job fair for the location at a hotel nearby, and I could show up whenever. I brought my resume, and there were a bunch of managers from different departments at the new store in a conference room. I spoke with the assistant store manager, and she asked me some basic stuff, like how much experience I had, if I liked working alone or with others, and so on. I was aiming for the scan coordinator job, but it was taken, so the manager, based on my answers, asked if I'd be interested in being a baker. I said yes, and she gave me a wage offer based on my background. We talked a bit, and then she made a final offer and told me to come back in a few days for a group paperwork session.
