I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon (Hebron, KY) in Nov 2012
Interview
Simple and to the point. Few personal questions. Only asked if we could handle walking, and lifting for up to 11 hours a day. Hired on the spot. You may be asked to submit a drug test (mouth swab). Very good chance of having a job the same day.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1. Are you okay with lifting up to 50 pounds?
2. Are you okay with walking up to 15 miles/11 hours a day?
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.
