      Any Posistion Interview

      Oct 10, 2010
      Anonymous employee
      Mettawa, IL
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Costco Wholesale (Mettawa, IL) in Oct 2010

      Interview

      I applied for the new Costco opening in Mettawa, IL on a Sunday and was called the next day (Monday) for an interview. I dressed nicely in a shirt and tie for my 1st interview which was the next day on Tuesday. The interview was somewhat difficult I believe as they asked questions I have not ever had before, but of course this was my my 2nd real job interview (I received a job offer at Toys R Us a week earlier for a seasonal store). I was interviewed by two young guys who asked basic questions, but some more complicated questions as well. They both sat on the other side of the table and took turns asking the quesions. A total of 30-40 questions were asked and then I was told what would happen next. I received a call 3 days later on Friday offering another interview which was scheduled a week later. I again went in there dressed nicely. It was really busy the 2nd time (lots of people waiting to be interviewed and lots of Costco employees trying to recruit business and members on the phone). The interviewing took place in an office building in a strip mall since the Costco is not fully constructed yet. After waiting about 45 mins I was called in a room again with two young guys. They didn't really have an interview series of questions other than just ask about my current job and say how crazy Toys R Us is for opening all these seasonal stores this year. It was more of a conversation. Then out of no where the one guy stopped mid-sentence and said there is no need to continue asking questions and the other guy slapped a plastic package on the table. I was informed it was an oral drug test that just uses saliva and it would take just 15 mins. I was given a job description to read and sign off on while the test was in process. I was told after the results came back that they would do a background check and then I would be called for Orientation which would be next month when the Costco is fully constructed. Overall it was a real friendly but busy atmosphere.
