Kroger interview questions

The interview process was very casual. They didn't tell me upfront but I had essentially received the position before I met the HR manager in person. I think they just wanted to interview me to make sure there wasn't any issues and that I was serious about taking the position. I dressed casually and that seemed to fit the atmosphere of the interview. The manager gave me some basic questions, mostly just asked me to elaborate on some aspects of my resume. The rest of the time consisted of planning the next time we would meet to fill out paperwork, do a drug test, and start computer training. They had to do a background check before I could start anything officially so everything together took about a week.

I got hired on as a courtesy clerk last year. I applied online and got called from their recruiter a few days later. They asked me about my school and what accomplishment I was most proud of, then scheduled me for an interview the next day with my Kroger's hiring manager. The questions were very simple and non-intrusive, such as "What do you define customer service as?" She also asked my about my volunteer experience, since I had no prior work experience as a high school senior. I was hired on the spot with minimal effort on my part. I feel like I was already guaranteed a job when I walked in there. Getting a job at Kroger, from what I've seen this past year, is just about luck. If you apply right as a vacancy opens, your application will probably get pulled first. I've also seen Kroger have a "Job Fair," which is basically where 30 pile into the foyer and stare at me pushing in carts while waiting for individual interviews.
