Whole Foods Market's recruiters encourage all the candidates to not give up on pursuing an opportunity with them. "Our acceptance rate is lower than Harvard's. It's very competitive to get a career here. Just because you didn't get this position doesn't mean you'll never work with us." So, if you have any close friends who work for the company, be sure to mention what store or office location they work for. Often, this can give a candidate a competing edge, and a deeper, insider view of the company and culture.

"I have a very old friend who I used to work with at the Piggly Wiggly, and they've only told me the absolute most wonderful things about the company. They've been wanting me to come work here for a long time, and I have wanted this as well. Having attended many parties, they've thrown where many of their Whole Foods Market coworkers were as well, and developing friendships with all of them, I already feel like I am a member of the family."
