FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

I sent my resume in a couple of days ago. What is the next step?
You will receive an acknowledgment that your resume has been received. If there is an open position that matches your qualifications, we will contact you to schedule interviews with the Recruitment Team.

Is there any opportunity for career advancement between operating companies? Does Stop & Shop/Giant Foods promote from within?
Absolutely. We believe in contributing to the personal and professional growth of our associates. We have an internal job posting process that helps our associates maximize their career growth and development. (This includes all Ahold operating companies.) In fact, we post most opportunities internally first before posting externally.

What is the selection process like?
Once we determine a match with an open position, you will be contacted for an initial meeting with a member of the Recruitment Team. All positions require pre-employment skills testing. After the initial interview, we'll contact you regarding the next steps. This may require more than one visit to our offices and/or more than one interview. Our goal is to make this process as convenient and informative for you as possible. Finally, a drug screening, background check and references will be checked before any offer of employment is extended.

We would suggest "Business Attire".

What should I bring to the interview?
Please bring detailed work history information on the past (3) three employers, i.e. names, addresses, phone numbers and reference checks. This can be contained in a resume. Bring a resume if you have one.

We ask behavioral-based interview questions. These questions will ask about specific situations you've encountered, as well as your accomplishments.
