Video Transcript
Interviewer: Please describe your job title and primary duties.
Publix Deli Clerk: My job title was deli clerk. My primary duties were usually making the sandwiches, or slicing meat or cheese for the customers. There was a few side items that we had to make, like potato salad and egg salad, stuff like that. Fried chicken, rotisserie chicken. Usually the hot sandwiches were, during our lunch rush they’d throw you on there. There weren’t too many of those, and most of it, it was just deli slicing, for the most part.
Interviewer: What was the work environment like?
Publix Deli Clerk: Work environment was a smaller group of people, probably about 5 to 10 people at most, behind the counter. Everything was, it’s hard to say. Typical, pretty good kitchen environment. People are looking at you from the other side, so keeping clean was more important than let’s say in another kind of kitchen. Working with customers, so the worst thing that would ever happen is that you’d have to deal with maybe a crappy customer or something like that, but everything was pretty pleasurable working there. It was not a bad working environment, as far as cooking jobs go. Not too stressful at all.
Interviewer: How would you describe the application and interview process?
Publix Deli Clerk: I believe I filled out and application online, and they called me for a phone interview, and then there was one interview that I had with, I can’t remember if it was the deli manager or the actual store manager. It was a relatively quick interview, and there was the mouth swab drug test. It was a very short interview, about 10 minutes long.
Interviewer: What questions did the interviewer ask during the job interview?
Publix Deli Clerk: They asked about my kitchen experience, they asked my age. I was just out of high school, so they asked me my grades. They didn’t seem too concerned with it, but it was just formality, I guess.
Interviewer: What other advice would you give to a job seeker looking to gain employment?
Publix Deli Clerk: If you’re looking for pat time, they always have it. I don’t know, I think looking for full time work there would be probably pretty hard. Because they have their main people there who have been there a long time, generally.

Can you tell us more about the experience from your resume?
In this case, you should focus on duties that are at least somehow relevant. Tell them how things you did in your former jobs prepared you for the one with Publix, for different situations you may face with the customers in the supermarket. Any job in sales, customer service, or retail is a relevant one.
Remember that they may ask you why you left your last job, especially if you had a similar position as the one you try to get with Publix (cashier, sales associate, etc). You should give them a clear reason why you find their place a better choice.
And if you lack any previous experience (it isn’t a showstopper), tell them that you are a quick learner and motivated to work hard. Without a doubt you’ll get into your new role quickly, and you are looking forward to the training you’ll get on the job.
Why do you want to work for Publix?
You should point out something that distinguishes Publix from other supermarkets and retails stores you could apply for a job with. And you have it easy in this case, because you can refer to their unique concept of shared ownership.
Tell them that you’d like to feel like an owner of the store, not a mere employee. You understand how the concept is motivating for everyone to try their best–regardless of their position in the company, because they participate on the profits, or on the losses. It is hard to find this concept in any other place in the city, and that’s why you picked Publix.
Of course, you can refer to other reasons as well. Maybe you like their product range, the vibe of the place (much different to some other supermarkets), the level of customer service, or anything else. One way or another, ensure them that Publix is your first choice.
