applied to the kroger company and waited 2 days before i called and asked about my application and the hiring process. Once they told me they would review my application and return my call within the next 2 days, the hiring manager called me in for an interview. At the interview i was quite calm, the hiring manager was very nice and had allot in common with me, she asked me a few basic questions like... Tell me a little about yourself... why are you interested in the kroger company? I said because its a steady place to work with competitive pay for a position while im just in school. what do you expect to make working for kroger? dont be afraid to aim high, i told her $10.00 an hour, apparently kroger has a program online that automatically tells them what to pay you with your experience. can you do a drug screening? I did a mouth swab in her office the day of the interview and was offered a position.
