I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Amazon (Middletown, DE) in Aug 2013
Interview
I applied online as a temp through ISS Agency and after I passed everything I was able to schedule an interview. I arrived and there were 6 stages. (You must have your ID, SS Card or similar documentation and GED/HS Diploma)
Stage 1: Sign in at desk
Stage 2: Go to a computer to enter your personal info.
Stage 3: Go to another computer and identify 20 products that were on a cardboard box. (its really easy, if you don't pass this, no interview)
Stage 4: Go to another computer and enter personal info again.
Stage 5: Look at some video about Amazon while you and others wait to be interviewed one-on-one
Stage 6: The actual interview; very simple. They ask why you want to work there, which position and shift you prefer. Give you a mouth swab for a drug test, perform a background check. If anything is available for your availability you will be given a Start Date, Shift, Position, Hourly Pay Info and Orientation Date.
PS: Apply early to get the shift that is best for you.
No interview at all, you go into the hiring center, take your drug test, fill out some preliminary paperwork, verify the building and schedule you want, your start date and that's it.
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.
