Frequently Asked Questions

How do I apply for a job at Whole Foods Market?
We accept applications through the Careers page of this website, at our store kiosks or in person at individual stores. Sometimes we may advertise positions in newspapers or on other recruitment websites.

Can you explain the application process?
Navigate to our careers page and select the state you would like to work in. Once there, you will be presented with a listing of stores where you choose whichever location you are interested in. You can review the job listings, and click into any of the jobs for more details about the position. If you would like to apply for the position, click on “Apply Online Now” link.

At that point, if you have applied to a job with Whole Foods Market previously, you can enter your login and password to use your previously saved information. If you do not remember them, you can use the password reminder below the login box to request your information via e-mail.

If you do not have a login and password, you can build your profile and complete the application by clicking the link in the “New Candidate” section. The first step will be to create your basic profile and upload a resume. Once that is completed, you will be presented with the Whole Foods Market Application, and then job specific questions. Please be sure to continue this process until you receive a message acknowledging your application’s submission to be sure your candidacy will be considered.

You may also apply in person at your location of choice. Most locations have an application kiosk for you to apply on-line through the same process as described above. If the location does not have an application kiosk, please check with Customer Service for a paper application.

We encourage you to check back often as our job openings are updated on a regular basis. You may want to create a “search agent” so you will be notified when jobs matching your interests are posted on our site.

If your personal information changes or you would like to apply for more jobs, you can access your profile by logging in with your login and password from our career page.

My computer crashed when I was applying. Do I need to begin the process again?
If your computer crashes, you will want to login to your profile to check on your status. You should go to our career page and login to your profile with the login and password you used when creating your profile. Once you are logged in, click on the “View My Past Submittals” link. If you see the job you applied for, than your application was successful, and we can contact you if we need more information.

However, if you do not see the job, you will need to re-apply to that job.

If you get a message saying that your login or password is invalid, then you will also need to re-create your profile.

Can I apply even if there isn’t a specific position currently available that is of interest to me?
If you do not see a position that you are interested in you may want to set up a “search agent”. You will then be notified by email when jobs matching your interests are posted on our site so you can submit an application.
