Applying
Take your time completing the application—it will take approximately 10–15 minutes from start to finish. Be thorough and include as much relevant information as you can.

Interviewing Process
Phone Interview
After reviewing your application, if we are interested in learning more about you, a member of the hiring team will reach out to schedule a phone interview. The phone interview will be approximately 10–20 minutes.
In-Person Interview
After the phone interview, if we feel that your experience would be a good fit for the position, we will schedule you for an in-person interview with one of the store leaders. The in-person interview will last approximately 20–30 minutes.
In the phone interview we will ask about your interest in the position you applied for and why you want to work for Nugget Markets. For both the phone and in-person interviews, expect to answer behavioral-based questions as well as questions about your previous experience. Be specific and have examples, but most importantly: relax and be yourself! We want to get to know you!
Depending on the role and the store, we might call you to do a second interview with another leader. You will receive either a phone call or an email within a few days after your interview so you know the outcome.
