Their hiring way is laughable..if not astoundingly pathetic.
Their link on their site for Sj goes to the Ottawa branch. Ottawa says email SJ. So we emailed Moncton today to find out where we should send a resume.
Their reply :send email: Replied back asking where to send it? To them in Moncton.
Sent it with cover letter ( and asked for a read reciept). It came back as :deleted without being read:

How impressive is that? Whoever HR for their store is, is sorely lacking in ANY human relations!

so they (moncton) emailed me back as I had sent them an email asking why would they even say to email the resume to them if they werent going to read it?
this is their reply

All resumes are saved into a different folder and email deleted due to size restrictions in outlook and not necessarily read right away as hiring has not begun. I hope you can appreciate that 100's of applications are being received and we don't keep them in our email. Please let me know if you have any further questions.



So isj, my question is..can you save an attatchment without opening the email????? I wasnt aware one could...so I also guess the cover letter would not have been read for my friend either.

makes me wonder why i am a member there

at the very least they could be honest about it and say they are not yet accepting applications until the store is nearer to being open; as someone who did the hiring for one department in a new business just two years ago that wasn't open yet, I know that getting resumes for a place that isn't even finished yet is extremely hard to manage.

Ah, but it is being handed over to Costco themselves this month. They also have their own link on their website as well..so, I am putting the onus back on them for poor HR relations.

I heard that they wouldn't accept resumes until 12 wks before the store opens ( I could be wrong on the time frame) only because they don't bother to look at them before that.

when we questioned the "send here", and "deleted without being read" e-mails.....I actually got a call in the evening from someone in the Moncton store. He says that - the info. in all the recieved resumes is saved to be read later, then the e-mail is deleted. Wether that is correct, or not, I thought that getting a call from them to explain our concerns was pretty responsible.

Yes, you can save an attachment without opening the email. Using microsoft outlook, you can save from the preview pane.
