The Food Lion Job Application Process

The Food Lion job application process is pretty simple and straightforward, and should only take you about 30 minutes to complete. The first section of the application is designed to collect your personal information, such as your name, address, phone number, employment history, and social security number. During the application process, you will also have an opportunity to upload your resume and cover letter. If you have those documents prepared (you do, right?), you should definitely take advantage of the chance to provide them. It's tough to stand out with just a job application, so providing these documents can be very beneficial. You will also be asked to provide some references. These can be either personal or professional (though professional is preferred). As always, make sure that you ask your potential references before you put their names down -- nobody wants to be surprised with a phone call, no matter how well they know you. After you provide the information above, you will just have to complete a brief questionnaire about your age, work history, and availability. There are no 'trick questions' here, so just answer honestly.
