I applied online and was sent test to complete prior to interview. then, i was sent to a person in HR who visited with me about 30 minutes and asked a few of the normal question. Such as:
1. Can you think of a time when you had to think outside the box to get something done at work?
2. What are your greatest strengths/weaknesses.
We briefly discussed income needs
Then, I was sent to another person at a different location who interviewed me as well. She asked similar questions.

Interview questions [2]
Question 1
When was a time when you had to accomplish something at work where you had to think outside the box?
I applied through other source. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Kroger (Cincinnati, OH) in Apr 2009
Interview
Kroger is very conservative. Don't wear something too "trendy" to the interview. A suit and tie is good. When you apply, you will take a personality test and skills test with your application. Then, they will review that and send you an interview offer. If you get an interview offer, you need to fill out more questions about specific incidents (handling discipline, customer complaints, etc). The first in-person interview is to weed out the good candidates from the bad ones. If you make it to the second interview, you are good to go. The second interview was more like a conversation to figure out your store placement.
