I applied in-person. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Chattanooga, TN) in Oct 2011
Interview
Hired direct upon company opening new building in October of 2011. Was time tested on skill to verify accuracy of items. If this was not passed in the allotted time you were excused and could only apply as a temp with Integrity Associates. After passing skill test there was a short interview followed by a drug test.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Can you work in a building that exceeds 90 degrees or more for 10 hours?
No interview at all, you go into the hiring center, take your drug test, fill out some preliminary paperwork, verify the building and schedule you want, your start date and that's it.
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.
