I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at CarMax (Tucson, AZ)
Interview
The interview process was ridiculously long it took just about 6 hours for the complete process at the time of hire they had me sit in the customer waiting area then from time to time they'd stop by and say "you can come back another day if you'd like" which I felt was completely unprofessional. However I stayed eager for a chance to speak with a manager finally an hour or so later I finally got greeted by one of the hiring managers and the process begun, if that manager likes you, you get sent back to the waiting area and the process repeats, after you meet with 3 managers from different departments another manager prepares you for a role play, if you pass the role play, all 3 managers interview you at the same time. One you pass you meet with the LGM and if they hire you you submit to an onsite urine test immediately once you do that you have the job.
I applied through college or university. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at CarMax (Norwood, MA) in Jan 2016
Interview
Really long , be prepared for a 2 hour maybe 2.5 hours they have 3 people interview you pretty much asking the same questions just in a different way but the last person is most likely your manager so try to impress them
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at CarMax (Fort Lauderdale, FL) in Nov 2016
Interview
I completed the online application and several days later received a phone call to set up an in person interview at the store with the opening. I was given two days notice which left plenty of time to fit into my schedule. Upon arrival I completed a short online program with info for background check. The interview followed in one of the showroom sales booths. I was interviewed one on one with a senior buyer for over one hour. Upon completion of the interview we both agreed that I was over qualified for the position and should continue applying for another CarMax opening.
