I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Costco Wholesale (Goleta, CA) in Sept 2012
Interview
Apply online then I suggest coming into desired location and introducing yourself to management. Once your application is pulled you will be subjected to 3 interviews and a drug test. If you successfully pass each interview and drug test then you will be offered a part time/entry level position. Cashier assistant or cart crew usually, however there are occasionally other needs.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
During the interviews the managers are looking for bright, driven individuals that understand that since they are being paid better than their competitors they are expected to work harder. Member service is the highest of concerns even though it is still a warehouse atmosphere.
I applied in-person. I interviewed at Costco Wholesale (Washington, DC) in Aug 2017
Interview
They ask on the job posting for paperwork including your current years attendance record, your last two performance reviews , a cover letter/letter of interest and then your resume emailed or given to the addressed manager for the hiring. Then you will be asked to be interviewed by either one or more people. Sometimes you may have more than one interview depending on if you get past the first one or if they even need to do more than one. Sometimes there are not that many applicants and/or much decision making involved and may be able to make a decision based on just one . If you get the position then you will be notified verbally. If you do not then you will be normally told by a turn down letter physically handed to you or told verbally that you didn't .
