Interview
Relatively easy interview process for Costco. I applied online and received a call a week later asking to set up an interview time. My initial interview was with two front line supervisors and lasted about 10 minutes. After an initial interview, I had a followup interview on the spot with a manager, and subsequently hired (pending a drug test). After my drug test cleared, I had an orientation day scheduled which mainly focused on the company, etc...

Interview
The interview process was a surprise. A connection of mine setup an interview for me with Costco because I was a recent grad and had just received my Bachelors in Business Admin. I was told the position was for a "Manager in training." When I arrived I was told this was for the Front-End. Bummer, I know. With my experience and background I figured I was too good for this company. I slowly stood up and told the First Manager interviewing me "Thank you very much but this is not what I am looking for at the moment" and proceeded to walk out of the ware house. A few seconds later the same manager chased me down and said "Our other Manager would like to speak with you." So I met Marco, our warehouse AGM, and he said "I know this isn't what you expected but with your background I'm sure you'll move up in this company in no time." I trusted his theory and belief in me and pushed carts/assisted the front end. Did not complain and found a way to love my job and help each member in which the way that Costco's guidelines states. My 90-Day period had passed and applied for a Marketing position and was immediately given a try out. Best decision I have made so far in my life. Interacting with current/new members is my passion. Building relationships is what I am about and keeping members wanting to come back is my goal. Thank you Costco for creating this opportunity.
