I applied online. I interviewed at Costco Wholesale (Clackamas, OR) in May 2013
Interview
If you apply online, it is a basic application (name, contact info, work experience, etc.). Given they have so many applicants, it is best to have someone who works at the store vouch for you. It makes the HR department more likely to take a more in-depth look at your application. It was a two-on-one interview. Two interviewees per applicant. They alternated asking questions. Each time, one person would be listening attentively while the other would write down a couple notes.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Have you even been in a situation where you have had to solve a disagreement between you and a customer or customers
I applied online. I interviewed at Costco Wholesale (Cincinnati, OH) in Oct 2013
Interview
Easy. Read up and study about company. Best selling product. Where first Costco wholesale opened. Who is President. Toilet paper and wine best selling called Kirkland brand. Interview with both dept head and store manager. Relaxed setting felt very comfortable.
I applied online. I interviewed at Costco Wholesale (Woodbury, MN) in Aug 2017
Interview
Received an email and went to a designated place. The interview took 15 minutes or less. They were not hiring anyone for any certain position and were going to ask for second interviews the first week of September, so when I left I really had nothing to go on.
