I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Costco Wholesale (Union, NJ) in Dec 2010
Interview
Company called me for a first interview....met with most of the supervisors pretty quickly...remember I got hired during the holiday season which is actually the best time to try to get a job at costco....at the end of the interview they give you an on site drug test (mouth swab) that they administer in the office....basically if you pass that and the background check you're in....
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Have you ever worked with difficult co-workers and how have you handled situations with them.
Basic interview process with drug test and one in person interview. They have you come in the office and you talk to the general manager. They ask you to bring your resume and they got back to me the very next day with feedback.
I applied through other source. I interviewed at Costco Wholesale (Southfield, MI) in Jan 2026
Interview
Was not too hard of an interview. Asked a lot of scenario questions that will help the hiring team understand who you are, so be prepared to give real life examples. I used the STAR method to answer all the questions and I was hired on.

Question 1
Give us an example on something that went wrong while working and how did you go about to fix that situation?
got a call and set up an interview date in person. Went into employee breakroom and waited until called on and did a 2 on 1 where they asked simple questions.
