I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Costco Wholesale (Chicago, IL) in Oct 2011
Interview
The interview was for a seasonal position. I applied on line and then a one on one with the GM. We sat in the food court area and discussed my application and my desire to work. Interviewer told me I had the job there and we filled out some paper work and did a mouth swab for a drug test in the office. Great process.
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.
Interview questions [1]
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.
