I applied online. I interviewed at Costco Wholesale (Cypress, CA) in Sep 2019
Interview
Costcos interview was simple but also intimidating. This is because they try to get through the interviews quickly, therefore you have obviously frustrated interviewers who have done 20+ that day who just want to stop. This causes the vibe to be off when getting interviewed. Although this is anecdotal, I think many have experuienced the same thing.
I didn’t have much of an interview. I forced myself into a job here. They said they weren’t hiring and I gave them my resume. I received a phone call the next day and offered me the job. This was during peak Covid scare.
First a phone screening, just to get to know your availability and about the job. Then you schedule an in person interview. You first interview with two managers of different departments, and then you interview with the head manager. If you pass, you take the drug test and background check,
its hard to get an interview, You can either go up there or apply online and it seems like they rarely get back with you. your application is in limbo.
