I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at CarMax (Atlanta, GA) in Aug 2016
Interview
Filled out an apppication online and was called two weeks later by a sales manager. Basic interview questions. Three days later, I was called by another sales manager who said the one who had called me earlier that week was “impressed.” A week later, I was brought in for an in person interview. It was a four hour process: 2 on 1 interview, sales role play and an interview/talk with the location general manager. Offered the job right after.
I applied through college or university. The process took 6 days. I interviewed at CarMax (Charlottesville, VA) in Oct 2017
Interview
I applied through a resume drop via my school's career center. The day before the in person interview was scheduled I received a notice that the interview would be over the phone rather than in person. Given that the interview was primarily centered around a case question, having the interview over the phone was a bit tedious. I could have been more prepared for the case for sure and case interviews over the phone are not too out of the norm. However, to cancel on an in-person interview at the last second like that was a bit of a JV move by CarMax.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
A case question centering around expected values of revenues/profits for different potential dealership locations.
I applied online through a college job board, then filled out an online questionnaire. This was followed by a brief and not too difficult case interview over the phone. A few weeks later they flew me down to the headquarters for 2 behavioral interviews and 2 cases.
