I applied online. I interviewed at Costco Wholesale (Fullerton, CA).

Interview

Very basic, they want to know how you feel about customer service and how you've handled difficult co workers or customers. Once you apply and they call you for an interview that means you passed the "1st" interview. As soon as you pass the 2nd interview and they call you in for a 3rd you basically got hired. As long as you pass the background and drug test.

Interview Questions

Interview

Typically 3 stage interview process, with the first 2 performed one after the other with any manager, and the 3rd interview performed by assistant GM or higher. Normal behavior questions seen at original hiring interview.

Application

I applied in-person. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Costco Wholesale.

Interview

I interviewed at one location and another employee from my company interviewed too. He got the job, but I was invited to interview for a different location. My old boss worked for Costco by then, so I was barely interviewed because my old boss knew my work ethic and experience. They really only asked me if I would be willing to relocate, which was fine with me.
I asked to be able to give two weeks notice at my current job, but was told I was needed immediately. I quit that day, and started at Costco the next day.
