I hate being late for threads! My only suggestion, that I didn't see mentioned would be to TRY NOT TO BE MEAN!

It would appear that it went well. If they had no interest in you then they wouldn't keep you in there so long. A long interview is not a guarantee but it's a great sign.

Wish you the best Brother!

That's probably when the most damage is done?

Hello Darrell and I hope all went well at your interview today with WF'.

I just saw this thread this afternoon and it appears you had loads of great advise early on before the interview.

I would of added, know something about the company. In essence, go to their web site and find out about the origin of WF, where are they at now, and where are they going in the future with the business. There's much knowledge on a companies web site to take into an interview. Because, one of the questions that any company will ask you is "What do you know about our company?" and "Why don't you tell us something about Whole Foods from your knowledge of our company." This is the chance to really shoot your wad and impress them about your knowledge of their company.

And as been mentioned before, and regardless of the wage, salary of the position, there is nothing wrong about wearing a suit and tie to your interview. Hair cut and clipped fingernails and looking well groomed is always part of the interview.

Being a vet is a big plus as well

I just hope you answered well when asked how to use a left-handed meat cleaver buddy. Hope you didn't F that all to H***

Keeping our fingers crossed for you....

If you're getting a second interview and plan on shooting your wad, do it away from the meat, please.

If you dressed up, you did well. Good choice on shaving the goat cause they don't fly so well in the food industry.

I think you upset some of the gangbangers on here.

Well brother just saw this. Sounds like it went well. As for the tie I say dress your best. I know I carry myself better dressed well. I also think anything you can do to set your self apart in a good way can't hurt. My last interview I wore a jacket and tie. After I got the job my new boss asked why I wore a tie to the interview. I said "you remembered I wore a tie therefore it did it's job".
Best of luck.

Yeah that is true 1/8 of an inch is the longest they usually want facial hair. MAYBE a quarter inch but no longer.
