I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at Amazon (Inglewood, CA) in Jan 2015
Interview
Got the interview through a management company. Got a call a few days ago to come in for an interview at the warehouse location. When I got there there were about eight other candidates filling out their applications on the computer and a couple of people were waiting to either be interviewed or drug tested. Basically, all they ask in the interview is why do you want to work for Amazon and then they refer to your application and if you put you can't lift 50lbs or more you will NOT get the job.
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.
