I applied in-person. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Publix (Land O' Lakes, FL) in Nov 2012
Interview
Hiring process is very difficult. You have to really bug the managers in order to get the opportunity to have an interview. Private interview with the department manager one-on-one. Very personal feel to the interview and many people get an offer by the end of the interview.
I applied in-person. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Publix (Palm Beach, FL) in Jul 2011
Interview
My interview was pretty good because the supervisor at the time was such a nice person. I was given my uniform and hours and drug test to take after the interview. She also let me know that i will be in training at the register to get a good idea of the working environment and the customers.
I applied through other source. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Publix (Cape Coral, FL) in May 2015
Interview
I was called approximately two weeks after submitting my application via the kiosk in the front of a different store. I scheduled an interview with them the following week, which only took 15 minutes not including the time to drive there. The first interview was a rather open ended affair: I was asked descriptive questions about myself rather than situational questions like on the kiosk. After two days I was called again to come in for the follow up interview later that day. This second interview was essentially just the saliva test and filling out paperwork, while also allowing them to make copies of my drivers license and social security card for their records. I was offered the position and was told I would be called within the next week to inform me of my test results and to schedule my training on the nearest Saturday available. I believe I'll be called today according to the Team Leader's approximation, although I called yesterday for a progress report in order to show I was dedicated to the position
