I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Amazon (San Jose, CA) in Sep 2023
Interview
Not so much an interview as it is a screening to see if you're physically capable of the job. Fairly easy, they'll take almost anybody. You know what you're getting into if you apply here.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Are you capable of doing the duties described in the job description?
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.
