Job Interview at Costco - General

Hey Facepunch, I wasn't quite sure if this is a good topic to post in GD but I'm gonna go for it. So I was called for an interview at Costco. I've never gone to an interview, so I'm not too sure what to do. Anyone have any tips? What to say? What I'm goind to be asked? Any help that can be offered is great. Thanks guys.

Show 'em your penis to seal the deal.

Just be calm, will be over before you know it!

I'm sorry but you're avatar stole my real name. And be calm don't over react.

There is a class in high school that teaches you all this.

talk about how great small, locally owned businesses are

they'll ask you stuff like "describe a time when you lead a team" or "describe a time when you didn't agree with a coworker/friend and how did it turn out". generally awkward and stupid but like every job at that level does it.

We brought bulk toilet paper from there, about 10 packs of 20 rolls or someshit, just to find that they were paper towels when we got home. :I

Wear khaki pants and a polo or something nice but not too over the top fancy. Just look nice and presentable. Answer the questions honestly but make sure it's just enough to get you the job i guess.

Smear feces on your face in a war style manner. No... But dress nicely, keep eye contact but don't be awkward about it. Act natural, don't fiddle your fingers. Small things like that.

Tell that to my mother, she's the one that shops, Im too busy looking for cheese

Maintain posture, good eye contact, speak loudly, and be confident. Even if it seems slightly arrogant. A employee who seems confident in theirself is likely to be hired. I'm hoping to get into gamestop as a game advisor at the store near here, I just need to give my application to them. Be glad you got that far. I'm to afraid to go turn my application in.

[QUOTE=Im-Bored;24678875]This you, OP? [IMG]http://homepage.mac.com/dtrull/pix/welcometocostco.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE] Welcome to Costco. I love you.

Never say 'uh' , or 'um'.

Cheese is awesome, I love it.

Tell them your worst quality is that you work to the point of nervous breakdown.

They're looking for the little things. Make eye contact, shake hands. And its okay to talk about money/hours. They expect that kind of stuff. Just be chill but sit up straight and whether or not its true, you are ALWAYS on time and are willing to work WHENEVER you're available. After you get the job though....you can skimp. If you've got the interview you most likely have the job. Good luck man.

Watch out for stupid, unecessary political bs questions like "What percentage of politicians do you think are corrupt?" I had that question once on a job application questionnaire. Who knows, maybe they will ask you that sort of stuff in the interview so remember that you have every right not to divulge your political standings as it should not reflect or impact the nature of your work.

Costco is the bomb, trolley surfing is the shit.

Ejaculate over the application sheet as you're being interviewed, it shows them that you can handle yourself under pressure

Be confident, say you work well in a team. Everyone hiring on the face of the Earth wants people who work as a team. Say things like you believe in getting things done as a team and you have good personal responsibility, and don't let them down. Don't be arrogant though, be positive.

Show them your fast threads.

Where's the Costco at? There's like 3 in my area

Its where I went to law school.

Costco is an incredibly hard place to get a job believe it or not. If you're not totally on your A game and appear to be extremely nervous and or fumbling about they'll basically tell you to fuck off in a nice way. What you have to do is try to remain calm about it and just answer their questions to the best of your ability. Don't try to sugarcoat your way through it either. They can detect bullshit from a mile away so if they ask you if you've ever gotten in trouble with the law or something you better tell them the truth rather than say something like "oh no I was a PERFECT kid NEVER got into trouble" because again they can detect bullshit from a mile away.

Is Costco a last resort for you or is that where you've been wanting to work OP?
