I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at CarMax
Interview
First interview was a phone interview with a sales manager, I was asked some general "interview questions". Next you are scheduled to come in and meet the sales manager and do a mock vehicle presentation. If they feel like you did well, you'll interview with GM

Question 1
Name a time when you had to deal with a difficult customer.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 days. I interviewed at CarMax (Kenosha, WI) in Jan 2019
Interview
It is a longer process than expected. It took about three separate interviews with three different people to get hired. It took about one week to get hired, for a special case quick hire. Overall, very good interviews and very nice people.

Question 1
Why do you think you'll be a good sales consultant?
I applied through other source. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at CarMax (Denver, CO) in Dec 2015
Interview
Phone interview followed by in person interview and role play selling a car. When you do the role play - shake hands, introduce your self, make eye contact, ask why questions, recommend a test drive or search nation wide inventory for a car. If you get to the part where they do a mouth swab drug test you're pretty much hired.

Question 1
They ask general interview questions, sales experience is NOT REQUIRED. After the phone interview they will schedule an in person interview. At the end of the in person they will take you to a role play followed by the drug test. If you don't make it to any of the stages I described, you didn't get the job.
