Interview
The interview process begins with a phone interview where they mostly tell you about the company. Next is an in-person interview which consists of learning more about the company, detailing what shifts you are eligible for and taking a drug test. Everyone is usually hired as long as you pass the drug test and background check.

Interview
Filled out online application through SMX (staffing company). After filling out application I was able to select a date & time for the "interview" & skills test. I showed up early for interview and was lead to a computer where I had to complete the skills test. This was a 20 question test that had to be completed within 10 minutes. After the test was complete I met with the interviewer and we discussed availability and some basic questions. Then I was back to the computer filling in about 10 forms W4 to company policy info. They also administered a drug test. From that point I had to go in the next morning for orientation and after watching a video we were told we would be notified by phone within 7-10 days after the background test and drug test were complete.

Interview
Heard about hiring event at Amazon. Found job posting on Monster and was then directed to SMX Staffing website to fill out about 10 screen application. At the end of app I was able to select interview date/time. I showed up early for interview & I was led to a computer to complete skills test. You have 10 min to answer 20 questions. They all had to do with images/info on a laminated sheet that they gave you. After the test I waited for the interview, which was very casual and not very in depth. From that point I was told to show up for an orientation on the following morning. Before leaving I was led to a computer again and to completer about 10 forms facing to do with company policy info & W4. I was also given a swab for the drug test. At hat point I was done for the day.
