I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Kent, WA) in Jun 2014
Interview
Applied once to a contractor. Contractor never got back in touch. Keep in mind contractor pay is less than an actual amazon associate.
Next i applied to a part time fulfillment associate position on amazon's fulfillment website. Heard back shortly for different interview times.
As soon as i got to the interview i noticed there were many people. It was an instant hire of sorts. Mass hiring of roughly 200+ people to operate the warehouse (BFI 5, kent wa, sort center). Drug test and info session about the job.
