I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at CarMax (San Diego, CA) in Apr 2016
Interview
You go over your sales background then demonstrate how you would go about walking up to a vehicle with a customer. It was a very comfortable process as you sit with senior managers who introduce themselves and talk about the culture at the store.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at CarMax (Clackamas, OR) in May 2016
Interview
Very friendly process. Was greeted at buisness office adn directed into nice quite room in back. Met with at least 4 people thorughout process. Before arriving I was informed of the entire process so I knew what to expect. Everyone was very friendly and welcoming. The interview process is given in steps. The more people you meet or longer you are there, the better chance you will be hired. I was offered the job after the interview. Feel free to bring snacks if at lunch time, and politely ask if they mind if you munch. Very easy going. The only slightly more stressful thing is when they ask you do "show" them a vehicle. They are really looking for your friendliness, confidence, and enthusiasm. They don't really care if you know car facts yet or not. They also make you take a long personality quiz on a computer.
