Interview
Apply online. They will email you to tell you if they would like to decline to interview you further or ask you to schedule a phone interview online. If you get a phone interview, they will send you another email either inviting you to an in- person group interview or not. At the group interview, you will be there with many other potentials. There is a big room with many tables, each with one interviewer and one interviewee. This will be your only in person interview. Afterwards, you are asked to wait till they are finished... be prepared to be there for several hours. They will split you into two groups and each group will go into their own room. If you walk into the room and there is a drug test kit on the table, you got the job. If not, you will be told thanks, but no thanks. If hired, you will have a little mini intro to the company presentation, fill out paperwork, and take a picture for your security badge. You will also be required to take an oral swab drug test on the spot. They will give you an official letter welcoming you and listing your pay amount. They will also tell you a ballpark figure on when to expect you orientation, be forewarned, it could be a bit. Mine was three weeks later. After orientation, which takes 6-8 hours, you will usually start the following week.

Interview
I applied online and received a phone interview, which wasn't really even an interview. It was basically them explaining what the job was like. Then I waited for my background check and drugs screening to go through. Then attended a work orientation. Then attended a tour of the building. Then began my job.

Interview
My interview process started when I went in for an interview for a lead fulfillment associate position. Started with a phone interview, which led to an in person interview. At least 2 years of management experience and a BA were required. Before heading in I was asked if I wanted to be considered for a fulfillment associate position, if I wasn't chosen for the lead spot. I said yes. The interview itself was in a conference room with many other candidates being interviewed at other tables. There was a basic quiz to judge your HR and basic math skills, which I was asked questions on by the interviewers. The rest of the interview was pretty basic, nothing too out of the ordinary. Come to find out, the position I was applying for had a ridiculous number of applicants and I really had no chance of getting that position. But since I said yes to being considered for a fulfillment associate position I was pretty much a shoe-in. Good game Amazon, getting college educated management material as your applicant pool for lower positions. Bravo. The actual "interview" for this position consisted of me going in for a drug test and getting some paperwork signed. Still haven't started working because as of writing this the building still hasn't even been built yet...

Question 1
Nothing really. If you have at least a year of work experience, have basic math and language skills, can lift 50 pounds, and have done at least one interview before in your life, you'll be fine.
