I got the job! I actually had all three of my interviews the same day. The first question they asked me was, what do you know about Costco? Because of the tips from this video, I did my research, and my interviewers were blown away. One of them said, wow, you are one of the first people I've interviewed in a while who actually knew more than the basics about Costco.

I just got the JOB! During the 3rd interview, I managed to capture the attention of my building manager by discussing my research on Costco and how my skills align with the company. My building manager was so impressed that he set aside my resume and focused solely on our conversation. The interview was only two questions before it was over. I mentioned Costco's code of ethics, employee turnover, Jim, Costco's annual report, and vertical integration. I am now waiting for my orientation which is in a few days. Lets go!! Awesome video

I interviewed this month for seasonal/Holiday work which starts in October. I was only asked #1 and #5. They wanted people who can work nights, weekends: Wednesday through Sunday. I mentioned things I knew about Costco through talking to current employees so that may be why I didn't get asked #4. - I am waiting on my orientation date now.

here is what I remember them asking: - why Costco? / what do you know about Costco? - what can you bring to Costco? - describe a time you had a conflict with a customer - have you ever worked in a fast-paced environment? if so, talk about what it was like - describe a time you had to complete a task with a sense of urgency, how did you handle it? - describe a time you had to take responsibility for a mistake you made on the job they start the interview off by going over your personal info, giving job descriptions, pay rates, and stuff like that. they might ask general questions about your current job/education. then they will ease into the questions I mentioned above. takes about 30 minutes. disclaimer, it might be different at your location, but this is how it was at mine.

Thank you in particular. I did what you said and memorized the mission statement, and when I mentioned that my personal views aligned with the Costco mission statement, the manager interviewing me asked me if I knew it. I studied and memorized it because of your comment, and nailed it, reciting it perfectly word for word. She said I was the only person EVER who had actually known the mission statement, and that most of the employees at the store probably didn’t even know it. You may have singlehandedly gotten me the job (although I may not be giving myself enough credit, because I was already on the third interview). But thank you so much anyway!!!!

I hadn't seen this video six years ago when I interviewed but I instinctively used many of the points mentioned here. One thing I did do - that was unusual - is I brought a pitch book with me. It had pages about me and about Costco. Large type, few words per page, easy to read (i.e. "Boy Scout Leader - 8years". And with Costco I had their Five Principles and their Rights of Marketing - and more.

it took four interviews and a phone call from Issaquah, WA but yeah i got on board. so weird to see prep videos on yt. just be yourself i know it’s cliche but either you can show up and be a friendly helpful person or you just won’t fit in. i love everything from the brutalist architecture to the members themselves. when they interview you they’re assessing you absolutely. i met with my department manager first, then her and the GM, then her again, then a phone interview. obviously routine drug and background checks. took about 3 months. always wanted to work here. it’s essentially my retirement plan. it’s not just “getting hired” though. be an ethical friend; energetic, sense of urgency, no does not exist in your vocabulary, be ready for a daily workout like scrap your gym membership, and just fit in I guess. your prep vid was pretty spot on tho yah I was asked many of those same questions.

Went well, I was out of 30 candidates, I got interview by a woman manager, very nice and down to earth. I was asked a few questions like have you ever had a problem with a co worker and how did you resolve it? And what mistakes have you made at work and how did you fix it. Also very important note, my ex wife works at another location, and I told her about I use to go to the Costco employee parties at the other location and she put and X2 by my name when I told her that. She said it’s not a bad thing, it just means you “know the lingo here” and I told her I knew the other Gm that retired at the other store so it helped me. The other 2 candidates that were there were very young compared to me. I left the interview and was told you will hear back in 5-7 days. Within 3 hours I was called around 8pm at night asking me to come in to another interview the following day with assistant GM. Thanks for the video btw!!!

I told him I like producing music and we had a nice chat where he mentioned he had a home studio too. That helped me stand out so definitely was the main reason he hired me besides my past work experience of course.
