Received a text on my cell from a recruiter saying she saw my resume and wanted to speak with me. Thought it was strange so I called to see if it was legitimate. When I reached the recruiter, I was surprised to be engaging in a full on phone interview. Questions were fairly in depth about my resume and past experience, strengths and weaknesses etc. After speaking for about 20 minutes I was offered an opportunity to view the warehouse and meet with the recruiter two days later. She was very nice and took me on a mini tour- showing me an assembly line of sort and boxes of their goods. Throughout she was asking me questions like, "Why do you think we package this this way?" The job seemed very monotonous with unhappy workers pushing and checking boxes. It was completely left field from my degree, previous work experience, and anything else on my resume. I knew it was a warehouse job but when looking up the impressive salaries I figured it was at least worth a visit. After the tour she brought me in a room and asked me a lot of the same questions from the phone interview for about 20 minutes. Upon leaving, I really didn't expect to get a call back- especially being that I had only met with the recruiter the whole time and not any other manager. About a week and a half later I got an expected email saying they would be moving on with more qualified candidates. What I thought was most strange about the process was the fact that they recruit people who from their resumes, are obviously not typical warehouse workers. The questions she asked me were in depth but I did not think they were related to the job. Ie- asking me to name a specific time I improved a system at my workplace? When the position I'm interviewing for seems like I would be a robot with zero opportunity to stray from any methodic packing system required of me. Still I figured they want a variety of people from different backgrounds. When I toured the warehouse however, I was specifically looking for people like me- young females who may not stereotypically look like they would work there. The only people fitting this description were probably the supervisors standing stationary behind a computer. It was mostly middle aged men and one middle aged woman I saw doing this work.

Two recruiters take you around the warehouse, then to the offices upstairs to conduct the interview. They also have you respond to a "customer inquiry," and have you look for the item on their company website. Then they have you respond to the customer via email. Overall, the interview process took an hour and half.
