I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Costco Wholesale (San Luis Obispo, CA) in Oct 2012
Interview
Be prepared to ask questions about the company. The manager will expect you to have some knowledge of the company and thus want to ask him about it. Be energetic and positive. They look for a good attitude and hard worker. That is about it other than that the interview process is pretty basic.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Costco Wholesale (Overland Park, KS) in Oct 2014
Interview
There were 2 interviews, the first of which I was interviewed by two people. Both of whom were genuine and straight forward. They asked questions about past experiences in retail sales, which I have none and was honest about. They also asked questions to get a sense of how well I deal with interpersonal situations, both positive and negative. The asked for details on my work history and even had a copy of my resume, which was weird to me because it's a stocker job. This made me think they're serious about employee vetting, no matter how large or small the position.
The second interview was with who I assume is the manager of the entire store. She was very direct. Her questions were designed more so to show my own personal work ethic. I answered honestly and openly. She asked how I prepared for the interview. it was not as long as the first and at the end she offered me the job. I passed my drug screen and am now waiting for orientation.

Question 1
To be honest the first interview came sort of unexpectedly and I was completely unprepared. Every question was difficult because I had to choose and recall details of past experiences on the spot. I was just honest and as professional, didn't try to inflate or boast which I fell they sensed which I why I was given the second interview.
