I applied to work for the publix bakery plant around april 30,2016 I got an email to schedule for an interview about four days after I applied so I scheduled it for a Thursday at 2:30 pm I arrived about 15 minutes early and sat in the waiting room for about 10 minutes there was a lot of people there for interviews...they took us up to a conference room where we waited another 10 minutes for the hiring managers but they were doing 1 on 1 interviews so I did the interview it was very laid back like to the point were it felt like you were talking to a friend he asked me basic questions about my previous jobs and situation questions that I felt I answered very well the overall interview lasted about 10-15 mins he asked me if i had any questions a had a few prepared like what would be the right attire if I were to start..umm about how long will we be in training...and once I start is there a certain amount of time i have to be in that position until I can start filling out others to move up in the company (questions of that sort really help and shows the employer that you are very interested in the job)so after the interview he walked me back down stairs and informed me that it does take time to hear back from them as he has to get with the other managers and discuss everything..so I gave a firm hand shake and thanked him for taking the time to interview me !!as I said I interviewed on a thursday so the weekend went by and I got the call that following monday saying that I was chosen for the position and she gave me the details of the job the pay rate etc.and then I was told to schedule to go into the employment office for the drug test and background check I scheduled for the next day (TUESDAY) in the afternoon when I got there I signed in waited for her to come back and get me and when I got to the back I did a mouth swab drug test where you cant eat anything 10 minutes prior so I had to let it sit in my cheek for 10 minutes while I signed the release for the background check and drug test that took about 15 minutes she told me that my offer would be final once those two things came back with positive results WHICH THEY ARE CUZ I DONT DO DRUGS AND MY BACKGROUND IS PERFECT LOL she then gave me two papers of information that I would need to bring back once everything was clear so now it has only been 3 days and I am just waiting for that call PUBLIX is great I was employed with them the same month I turned 18 and now am back with the PUBLIX family !!!! goodluck to you all and never give up because believe me there the best to work for FYI the position that I applied for starting pay rate is 11.65 but since I am overnight I will get a .50 difference so the day I start my start pay will be 12.15!!!!!! CANT WAIT
