I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon (Cleveland, TN) in Nov 2015
Interview
Entire process took Less than an hour. Not really an interview. Just Took a test, answered a few basic common sense questions and hired. Easiest hiring process I have ever seen.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Are you willing to work overtime? Can you lift over 50 pounds? Can you stand on your feet for 10 hours?
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.
