Current Events > Thinking about getting a job at a amazon warehouse

(+) Yeah! (+)

They take anybody with a pulse right? Been applying to mcdonalds and zero callbacks even after 3 interviews and a bunch application sent

yeah. you can also quit on the spot and they don't care.

Yup, as long as you can pass a drug test you are in basically. It's a great fallback job if you ever need some work for awhile, just make sure to resign if/when you want to leave so you can reapply immediately instead of having to wait a year

Is it just one drug test or are there random tests? I dont do random tests.

But if youre not getting callbacks from McDondalds, I wouldnt hold my breath. Your best best might be a job fair. They will sweat the shit out of employers and basically make them hire you.

Here's a podcast with a segment covering someone's experience at Amazon, if you think that sort of thing would help preparations.

Could be an over qualification thing, too. An age thing as well.

I hope you don't mind pissing in bottles.

It would be lucky to get the job.

I thought that was the drivers? I would rather piss in a bottle than a cup.

Yeah it's just the one, you just show up where they tell you to then you take a mouth swab thing and a couple other stuff (badge photo and whatnot) and that's it. Unless you get caught smoking or high on the job or whatever there aren't any random tests

Well they start out at least $15 an hour so if you can handle the workload go for it.

I may consider it at some point. Its almost impossible to find a job that pays more than minimum wage where I live due to overpopulation.

I never want to work in a warehouse ever again

I'm in the same situation. Nobody seems to want to hire me even though they're supposedly struggling to find people.
