CarMax Buyer In Training interview questions

A long process. The first part was an online assessment that took roughly 30 minutes. A few days later got a phone call to schedule a phone interview, this phone interview was about an hour long. It was all cookie cutter questions, What would you do in this situation, nothing outside of the box. It got to the point where the redundancy was highly annoying. The 3rd part was an in person interview that was scheduled to be 2-4 hours long. The first part was 30 questions of drug use, criminal record, and stealing. It was odd that at this point in the process they were going over all this all again. They also run a work history check through the Social Security administration. After that did a knowledge assessment, basic math questions, reading and compression, and analytical questions, which took a little over an hour. Finally I did a face to face interview with Manager, which was once again the same type scenario based questions from the phone interview. Throughout all the interviews they made it a big deal that you have an open schedule, I am in the Reserves (one wknd a month, 2 wks a year) and this seemed to be a slight issue with them. i also made mention that I wanted to pursue my Masters and later on in the final interview he asked if I had any school or any other obligations that would prevent me from working certain times. Not sure if he didn't hear me, or was just following the script.

Recruiting is normally handled through referral or through application on the CarMax website. First interview is normally a phone interview that will be scheduled with a corporate recruiter and followed by a minimum of 3 in-store interviews. Interviews are in a format known as Behavioral Interviews and you should look up the type of questions you will be asked by googling Behavioral Interview. I would also recommend reading up on the company from the CarMax website to prep yourself for the questions as well
