I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Costco Wholesale (Seattle, WA) in Oct 2008
Interview
I filled out online application and was called right away. I attended a "job fair" at the warehouse. It is a bit of a cattle call they do for the holidays. 2 managers combine 1st and 2nd interviews by taking turns asking questions. Online applications are dumped at the end of each month so you have to keep applying until called.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about the time you felt presented with an ethical dilemma. Felt like a trap door.
