I applied in-person. I interviewed at Costco Wholesale in Apr 2013
Interview
Sent my application in person in early March. Did not hear back from them, so went directly in store to talk to the cashier manager. She then scheduled me for an interview at the end of the same week. I was told to bring CVs and my references.
The first interview comprised of two interviewers, one doing all the talking, the other writing down the answers that you give onto a form (and barely looks at you the whole time). Interviewer was not very friendly; very stoic, unemotional face the whole time, eyes shifting away when I was talking.
After the interview, I was told that I would be contacted in 2 weeks by phone (if they liked me and wanted a 2nd interview) or by snail mail (if they rejected my application).
I'm waiting for their answer, but I don't have high hopes since I tripped on words a lot at the interview and didn't really explain myself clearly. (I will enter "No offer")
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
All very generic questions such as:
- tell me about yourself
- what is customer service to you?
- can you describe a time where you felt pressured and what you did?
- how you would deal with an unproductive team member?
- how you would deal with conflicts between you and the supervisor?
- why do you want to work here?
I applied in-person. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Costco Wholesale
