I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Publix
Interview
You get called and interviewed within a few days. The questions I answered focused on remembering tasks by telling me a list of things and repeating them to the interviewer perfectly. Also questions like why do you want the job, tell me about yourself, and would I be willing to do certain jobs. There was only one interview and within a week I was contacted for the job. After an arduous drug and alcohol test as well as a 5 hour class to learn the basics of the job and a few online training modules, it took about a month to start officially working at Publix.
You might be tasked with several jobs before closing the store for the day, such as mop, wash, and clean the floors, clean the bathrooms, count register tills, block the aisles and lock the front door. Now repeat to me the tasks I just told you.
I applied in-person. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Publix (New York, NY)
Interview
I got the interview a week after I applied. The store you applied for may not be the store you will get so keep that in mind. The interview was simple. The hiring manager wanted to know more about you and asked you questions about how you would deal with the customers. There are plenty of room to ask questions. I was hired on the spot, while for others they call you back.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Publix (Miami, FL) in Nov 2013
Interview
Fast and appropriate and involved easy questions about the personality and how to react in certain situations. This is a good way to judge how a person who interacts with people will act
