I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Costco Wholesale (Scarborough, ON) in Nov 2015
Interview
I was called three days after I applied for this position online, and was asked to have an interview the next day. A man and a lady interviewed me, and they are very friendly people. We chatted around and then they asked me questions according to a form. The questions were pretty much about the work/social experience you had in the past and what you learned from them. It took about 20min, and after the first interview, they asked me if I can wait for the second interview immediately, I said yes and then the warehouse owner had a talk with me. Not much like an interview though, she just gave me the job description and let me sign. It took no more than 10min. She then told me to wait to be contacted cuz they need to contact my references.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
When working in a team, what do you do to ensure that the team reaches its goal?
You sit at a table in the food area with two managers. If you have a heart beat you got a job. They drug test immediately. They take you into a back room to suck on a dry sponge for about 5 minutes to see if you pass the test.
Initial phone screen with a manager. Went on to do in person interview with other managers (previous experience in a team, what i did to prepare,etc.) Clarified my schedule and started the onboarding a week later.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Costco Wholesale in Nov 2025
Interview
This was for a seasonal position. Went in and got seated in the breakroom. They called me in after about 15 minutes. I was interviewed by the Admin manager and the Front end manager. It went really well! They dud an amazing job of making me feel comfortable. I handed them copies of my resume and they were just pointing things out and asking me about that and what my plans were at Costco, considering the prestige of my college degree and my professional experience thus far. After that they asked me general situational questions. Told me to wait in the breakroom again to speak with GM. Conversation with him took less than 5 minutes. He told me my resume was impressive, also asked me what I was hoping to gain at Costco. Afterwards told me to be on standby to get my drug test done. That took about 15 minutes and I had orientation 2 days later.
