I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Oct 2015
Interview
There really is no interview process. You apply. If you are approved they get back to you to schedule a start date. On said start date they cover the company policies with you, tax information, direct deposit set-up, and a drug screening. If the drug screening comes back good you are approved to begin a training. They will set up another start date with you for training.
Other Warehouse Associate interview reviews for Amazon
Not too bad pretty easy and straightforward, simple question surrounding handling and moving. Make sure you know basic safety rules as they will ask you, for example how do you carry heavy items.
Apply online, go to the on-site office for oral drug swab and ID picture. Start date is assigned once background check comes back. The actual start date will depend on how fast the check comes back but isn't normally delayed.
Very simple and straight forward. Drug Test and Valid ID. Very few forms to to complete and a very short waiting time. The staff was very professional and efficient. Helped you with any questions or parts that you were unsure about.
