Behavioral Other
For internal employees, the process is a bit different. After applying, I got a call from HR about a week later about a 250-question personality test that took about 45 to 60 minutes. They said they'd call in a few days to let me know if I passed. They called about 30 minutes later to say I passed and that the HR advisor for the store would set up an interview. I got the interview two days later. They asked questions about different situations and how I handled them, looking for real-life examples.

It was a 3 month training that wrapped up with an interview. The interview was all about personality and situational questions.

Behavioral Presentation
They will interview a lot of candidates and decide based on what they see. It is a good company to work for but they are not the top. It is a good place to network. Learn some things about the grocery business. This job requires people who can communicate well verbally, have a good appearance, and a great work ethic. Dress like you are going to church or a funeral. Good job to start. Make sure you can speak and think on your feet.
