I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Tracy, CA) in Sept 2013
Interview
Entire hiring process is done strictly through their website, besides the in-person interview. Applied through their website. Received email from HR requesting a phone interview. Phone interview was to verify my submitted information gathered from application(availability, contact info, experience). At end of phone interview was asked to proceed with interview process by attending an Amazon hiring event for in-person interview, Interview was one on one with managers for upcoming warehouse. At end of interview was told if you did or did not receive job along with estimated work schedule and description of job. Immediately after interview attended a group orientation for the company where a drug test and consent forms for background checks were administered. Were notified within week of results from both tests.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Most difficult experience at work that resulted in a personal job performance being recognized for a good job.
Not too bad pretty easy and straightforward, simple question surrounding handling and moving. Make sure you know basic safety rules as they will ask you, for example how do you carry heavy items.
Apply online, go to the on-site office for oral drug swab and ID picture. Start date is assigned once background check comes back. The actual start date will depend on how fast the check comes back but isn't normally delayed.
Very simple and straight forward. Drug Test and Valid ID. Very few forms to to complete and a very short waiting time. The staff was very professional and efficient. Helped you with any questions or parts that you were unsure about.
