I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Costco Wholesale (Goleta, CA) in Sep 2012
Interview
Apply online then I suggest coming into desired location and introducing yourself to management. Once your application is pulled you will be subjected to 3 interviews and a drug test. If you successfully pass each interview and drug test then you will be offered a part time/entry level position. Cashier assistant or cart crew usually, however there are occasionally other needs.

Question 1
