Open House FAQ’s

What is an Employment Open House? What can I expect?

• An Open House is the interview part of your application process. You will go through some group activities and complete a few short interviews with different members of the management team.

• The interview is fairly casual, as far as job interviews go, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't take it seriously. It does mean, however, that you should not dress up; wear comfortable, weather-appropriate clothes. This is a farm and we will be outside. 
• We’ll ask you about all sorts of stuff… some of it will be similar to the topics discussed in the application, and some of it may seem random. We will even play some games!
• We’re looking for a number of things. We want to get to know you, to get a sense of who you are, your personality and temperament. This helps us assess whether you and Cox Farms would be a good "fit”, and what positions/jobs might be best for you. So, we’re looking for you to be yourself.

• Yes, all new applicants must attend an Open House. Since we have so many new applicants to hire in a short time, we provide Open House sessions so that multiple managers can assess multiple applicants in a single session.

• You do need to sign up for an interview. After you submit your application, you will be emailed a link with the sign up and further instructions!

• We only post one or two Open House dates at a time, but we are planning on having several sessions between Mid July and Labor Day.  After you have submitted your application, if you are unable to attend the listed interview date, or if the date is full, check the Open House link in the confirmation email on Monday afternoons.

• The amount of time you’ll spend at the Open House varies based on what time you get there, and how many other people are ahead of you. It is typically 30-60 minutes. Please arrive no earlier than 10 minutes before your scheduled time slot. 

• Only the actual applicants may attend the Open House, so parents/kids/friends are not able to attend unless they are also applying!  

• The show must go on! We have covered areas to keep everyone relatively dry.

• Employees who successfully completed the 2024 season ( finished season in good standing, received high scores on the end-of-season evaluations by captains and leaders, etc.) will automatically be invited back to work Fall 2024. We will send out employment invites via email in late July. But don’t be shy! If you have not heard from us by August 5th, send an email to people@coxfarmsva.com.
• Past employees who did not work Fall 2024 should send an email to people@coxfarmsva.com for further instruction.
