I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Hazle Township, PA) in Jun 2014
Interview
I applied online and received a response through email indicating I had to schedule a phone interview. I scheduled a time and waited for the call on the day and time I reserved. I got a call from an hr rep in Seattle whom asked me very basic questions. After, I waited about a week and received an orientation date.
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.
