I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Columbia, SC) in May 2012
Interview
Applied online. Waited a week or so for a phone interview. Waited a couple weeks after for the face to face. The face to face was fairly easy possible due to the expansion of warehouse only was asked three questions. After the face to face had to wait about a month an a half for a start date.
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.
