I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Costco Wholesale (Vancouver, BC) in Feb 2015
Interview
2 people interviewing at same time in a small room. Had to fill out a lengthy application, was advised to completely fill out the application and not to write "refer to resume". They had a question sheet that they read from but also asked many of their own questions to see if I was a suitable match.
