Basically, I applied for the job, and scheduled an appointment to come to my local job center to meet with Amazon, where there were also a dozen other candidates. The hiring manager gave a presentation about the job, what its like working for Amazon, had us ask questions, which building to go into for work, and all of the candidates did an oral drug test. After that, we all had our pictures taken for our ID Badges. Amazon will notify their candidates in a couple of days to invite them in to schedule orientation.

It is called an interview but all you are going to do is to take an online assessment test, background check and drug test. After a day or two, they will email you back with your schedule as well as the date of the orientation. It takes me less than two weeks for the whole application process and everything.

I applied online, 2 weeks later got an email stating I had been offered the job, and 2 days later another email telling me to schedule a date for my in-person interview. The "interview" was a group of people in a hotel lobby. Show up with your I.D, take a drug test, fill out applications for a back ground check, and listen to a presentation. The whole interview process took around 45 minutes, maybe an hour. A month later I got another email telling me to schedule a date for my New Hire Orientation. During the orientation I learned the shift schedule on my application changed from starting pay $10.25/hr, 5 hrs/day, 4 days/wk to starting pay $12.50/hr, 5 hrs/day, 3 days/wk. From the time I applied to my first day on the job took around 2 and a half months.
