I applied online. I interviewed at Kroger (Nashville, TN)

Brief 30 minute interview. They explain the job, what you're going to do and introduce you to your supervisor. Initiate a mouth swab drug test and then you're hired.

Question 1
How many year of customer services experience do you have?
I applied in-person. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Kroger (Oak Ridge, TN) in May 2014
Interview
interview process was typical of normal retail jobs. The manager asked why I wanted to work with Kroger and what other experience in retail and customer service I had. I went during a hiring fair, so the interviewing room had many managers interviewing different people at the same time. The feeling was very laid back.

Question 1
Why do you want to work for this company? What experience do you have? What are you looking for in a career? How long will you be with this company if hired?
I applied through other source. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Kroger (Franklin, TN) in Mar 2015
Interview
I went to a Kroger Job Fair which just consisted of some HR people at a table with literature and some food. I guess I presented myself well because the guy who hired me hardly asked anything, he just looked at me and decided I should work in the Deli (which was not what I wanted, but ..). You do have to pass a background check and drug test, but I had no experience in grocery stores and almost none in food service - doesn't matter, they need lots of bodies and they can train you (some computer based training before you go on the floor, then OJT). I brought a resume and maybe that also influenced the guy to think I was a good bet. It was almost like he had stars in his eyes when he saw me :-) and that would not have been due to my looks :-(.
