Not all positions at Whole Foods face the public. However, Whole Foods, and their parent company Amazon, are "customer obsessed" and very team-oriented. Therefore, the interviewer needs to determine how comfortable you are working in a fast-paced, collaborative environment. Spend time reflecting on who you are as a person, and where you fall on the scale of being an introvert, ambivert, and extrovert. Most importantly, showcase your adaptability and professionalism. Showcase your ability to build relationships with your teammates, stakeholders, and customers.

"I'd say that I am very social. A word many of my coworkers have used to describe me is warm. I thrive on connecting with people and believe everyone has something in common with anyone. So, connecting with others is something I thrive on, which I'd say makes me a rather social person."

Yes, in our line of work, being sociable helps to promote open communication when we're working together.

Nice response! A strong addition to this answer could be to include the ways that you are social...joining committees, volunteering, etc.

Board games are my favorite and without people to play with, there's no fun in that!
Marcie's Feedback
Nice! But make sure to directly answer the question. Your best bet would be to clearly say 'yes,' and then explain why you believe you're sociable (you can then mention playing board games with others). Try to give a work or school-related example of a time when you were sociable.
