Interview at freakin' Costco..

[halfassedjediknight]

..in about an hour.

I hate interviews but theyre nothing new so I dont get too nervous.

But I always feel a few butterflies in my stomach. Its more of the thought of not knowing what to expect and whatnot.

But im not worried, its JUST an interview, haha!

Wish me luck! Wish I could take a hit to chill my nerves.

costco? is thta like a grocery store ?

like a damn gigantic store. they dont just sell groceries though, they sell all sorts of stuff.

they start out at a decent payrate though, 11 bucks an hour.

beats what im makin now!

and they have rad benefits.

its so elitist you need a damn membership to shop there. i get three free if hired! haha.

[budsmoker only]

its like a wholesaler place, everything there is in bulk and cheap... people go there to buy shit for vending machines and such if they own a vending machine company... and good luck dude..

people shop more at like gtm and big lots for vending machines because they sell all their sodas and snacks dirt cheap.

mainly because its all freakin expired.

the majority of the costco crowd is the old folks tryin to save a buck.

COSTCO=SAMS...btw

Good luck:thumbsup:

just do alot of ass kissing haha

[higher4hockey]

places like that are the shit to work at. i worked at a grocery store when i was 16 until i was 21 off and on. i had some crazy fuckin times.

i did everything from fucking the bosses wife , to gettin two skunks trapped in the store , stealing a pepsi fridge for my own personal beer fridge , saran-wrapping the meat guys truck , and smooching with a cute cashier in the milk cooler.


good times man! customers suck, but those jobs were fun.

[buddymyfriend]

Good luck bro, sending good vibes your way! I'm guessing your Costco is the same as here in UK. Damn that place sells EVERYTHING and its soooooo cheap! Great if you're having a party!

Peace

[halfassedjediknight]

just don't let the trick questions trip u up...

theyre so tricky i dont even know if ive encountered any..got an example? haha!

actually at starbucks once i made the mistake during an interview saying the customer is always right.

the lady told me no, theyre usually not.

bombed that one!

[halfassedjediknight]

alright im outta here. i feel too spic n span all dressed up to be sittin around at home. might as well get there 20 minutes early and make a good impression.

i used to show up at interview a half hour early but some places get kinda bugged, so i think 20 is decent.

man i almost feel overdressed haha! at least im not in a suit. all i need is a blazer and id look like a churchboy.

Costco is the same as Sams Club? Cause I shop there alot o.O

[slipknotpsycho]

isn't that what eric and his dad works for on that 70's show? (well at some point, they don't both work there the whole show...jus ta few episodes)

i hate interviews.... they always ask me questions i can't answer without repeating myself...

"pertaining to this job, what would be your best quality?"
the ability to listen, and understand customer needs, and help them when i can
"personally what is your best quality?"
strong work ethic
"how will you help this company/store?"
doing what i can to help, being on time to the job and putting my whole effort
"why should i hire you over everyone else who applies?"
well... my work ethic, the jobs i've worked in the past, i've always ended up being the only one working, while everyone stands around yapping


see what i mean? my answers are pretty much two answers rephrased every single time... and those are honest answers, so i'ts not just me trying to kiss ass, but it sure seems like it....

[Nochowderforyou]

One of questions I hated most at interviews was: What things do you consider are your weak points?

I've never known what to say to that, so I always struggled with it, and said I wasn't sure, and laughed it off.

But really, what do you say when they ask you that? I work just too damn hard. :p Yeah, suuuuuure.

[slipknotpsycho]

lol yeah that's the curve ball i hate the most...

erm.... i have a bad habbit of getting FUCKED up sometimes... (if i said that they sure as hell wouldn't listen to me when i said "but i never let that jeapordize my job....") or.. "stupid people piss me off... but when it comes to a job i can take the shitstorm"

lol i have the same damn bad qualities everyone else in the wolrd has... what do you expect me to say?

"well... sometimes i just go crazy and love to smash eggs on my face, rape old ladies and pull peoples intestines out with my fist, and their ass being the entry point" ???? lmao...

i have horrible qualities as everyone else... but i also have the ability to keep that in my personal life... i can take alot of shit, more than most would even think of tollerating... if i'm getting paid to do it.... i'm no diffrent then anyone else.. what you expect me to enjoy being cussed out by an irate drunk customer witha big smile on my face that's SINCERE?.. lol.. yeah fucking right, not even the person interviewing you puts up with that crap...

[Skink]

Good luck!!!

[halfassedjediknight]

well i brought up the sams club thing. one of the interviewers told me "nah, price club turned into costco. sams club is still trying to find its identity and i hope it never will" haha!

anyways it went really good. he told me it was one of the better interviews hes had in the past few weeks.

they told me ill be hearing from them in a week when they cut down the list of interviewees that wont be getting hired.

im confident it went as good as it could have. I told them I would resign from my current place of employment if hired and they were all into that because they wanna work me like crazy they said.

thanks for the luck guys! looks like it came with me on the way there.

[higher4hockey]

oooh-rah to that man!

hope it works out for you.



also~ when you get asked the what are your weaknesses question. tell them : i don't deal well with bullshitters. it can be done or it can't be done, i dont have time for exscuses or stupid questions.

haha they didnt ask me that. they were just asking me for examples of how ive helped customers in the past, what kinda judgement calls ive had to make at jobs ive had, etc.

i had two interviews so i hope thats a good sign. they give you three interviews, but the third one is only the drug test so thats good.

hell yes!

[halfassedjediknight]

but i might add, i dont deal with bullshit in the workplace. there isnt time for it. i always work at high customer volume places, so its too busy for the bull.

[Zimzum]

Cool job man. I got a membership there and every time I go in its like the opening scene of halfbaked. Who couldn't use a 10 pound box of Swedish fish!

Well you usually know when you blow it so all is good now...

[halfassedjediknight]

definately.

i wouldnt have had the second interview if i blew it.

i dont even think they usually give you both interviews in one sitting, so that must mean somethin went well.

i also told em i was a bio major and im gonna cure cancer so they gotta kick out of that.
