It was very awkward. But the questions were easy. Just basic questions about why you want to work there, your sense of urgency, what you know about the company, etc.
I applied online. I interviewed at Costco Wholesale (New Orleans, LA) in Dec 2023
Interview
Fast, easy, and quick. I did two interviews in one day. I was kind of nervous but the interviewers were nice kind and told me to not be nervous. It was a great experience.
Too quick, they don’t really care to know about you, they just want to know you can get the job done. They ask everyone the same questions so it can be hard to stand out.
