I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Frankenthal (Pfalz)) in July 2020
Interview
My interview was via telephone due to Corona. Someone called at the arranged time and asked if I spoke English or German. I said English is easier so they said their colleague would call back in 10 - 15 minutes. They called back 5 minutes later saying their English wasn't the best but it would be enough for the interview. They asked me to confirm my date of birth and city that I'm living in. They then asked me the questions below. This took about 3 minutes. They then said that everything was okay for them and they would give me the job. They said they would send me an email with a test which I had to do within 24 hours and then I would receive an email within two weeks with information about an orientation where I would sign a contract and receive my start date etc. I received the email and did the test immediately. There were a lot of questions regarding to honesty and stealing from workplaces. Now I have to wait for the results and the next step.
Interview questions [6]
Question 1
How would you travel to work? Car or public transport?
No interview at all, you go into the hiring center, take your drug test, fill out some preliminary paperwork, verify the building and schedule you want, your start date and that's it.
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.
