Interview
Went in and asked to speak with the department manager, gave him my resume. Was called to come in for an interview and was hired on the spot. It was simple and casual.
I applied online. I interviewed at Costco Wholesale (Brampton, ON) in Apr 2023
Interview
They ask you a handful of questions about yourself, your prior experience and about certain situational scenarios and how you'd react. It's around a 10 to 15 minute interview, and sometimes there will be a second interview with another manager asking specifics. Overall not too bad.
