I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at CarMax (Richmond, VA) in Sep 2010
Interview
I interviewed with CarMax a few years ago for a Strategy Analyst position. The interviewers were all pleasant and engaged in a mixture of case and behavioral questions. The case was simple and straightforward, far less rigorous than leading consulting firms. Behaviorally, they mostly wanted to get a look into your personality and also feel for whether you will want to work in their office locations.
I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at CarMax (Las Vegas, NV)
Interview
Had to apply online 5 times before I got a phone call. (by the way I definitely qualify for this position) When you get a call you come in for a one on one interview - I interviewed with 5 or 6 people it seemed like no one could make a decision and then finally someone told me I was hired.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How I have been unsuccessful in a sales situation and handled it. Mock selling a car to the interviewer. They are very concerned with honesty if the interviewer feels like you got terminated in the past for not being honest you won't get hired.
I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at CarMax
Interview
I had one interview on campus, it lasted one hour with a mixture of behavioral and technical questions. The interviewer was nice enough and guided me along the technical question, which was really easy and dealt with a simple probability situation. I recommend that you just go in there and treat it as any other interview.
