I applied in-person. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Costco Wholesale
Interview
First interview is with the pm merch manager they pretty much just ask questions off a paper super easy situational questions. Second interview some are done over the phone mine was in person with the merch department manager same deal they had interview questions on a paper more focused on how you can be an asset to the company.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They ask about how you can take some skill or experience from your previous work history to help be an asset to Costco
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.
I interviewed at Costco Wholesale (Auburn, New South Wales)
Interview
Panel interview, I think they place priority on potential hires based on work culture and whether you will fit the company culture since training can be taught on-job. There is not much scope on which area of merchandising you may be allocated ie. frozen foods, snacks, alcohol etc, so not much choice. It is fast-paced, demanding and requires physical labour.
