I applied online. I interviewed at AutoZone (Jackson, MS) in Jun 2016
Interview
It's pretty straightforward. First you apply for the job on the internet. Then, they call you. You say, "yes, I can do the interview." They're like, "Cool, come in Tuesday for the interview." They give you a test, but it's just to see how much you know. Afterwards, they ask you the usual questions. "Why do you want to work here?" "Where do you see yourself 5 years from now?" "Are you willing to sell your soul for the company?" Just say "yeah, I can do that". Pass the background check. Pass the drug test. Go to orientation. And that's it. You got the job.
Straight forward and helpful, they didnt ask for much experience but willingness to work. Very friendly Manager who showed me around the whole building before writing me down for E VERIFY
I applied online. I interviewed at AutoZone (Chicago, IL) in Jun 2017
Interview
Applied online and got a call back on the same day. I was interviewed in Chicago during what the manager called a "hiring blitz" for the summer. The interview questions were almost exactly the same as the questions on the online application, so be prepared with good answers. If you're an engineering student, definitely bring it up because it seemed to impress the hiring manager when I did, even though I don't have much practical experience with cars. Plus I think I'm getting paid at a bit of a higher rate than typical for a part-timer. The hiring process took about two weeks and is as follows:
1. Apply online
2. Phone interview (to set up in-person interview)
3. Interview at Autozone location
4. Call and/or email received if hired
5. Set up uniform and name tag pick up / paperwork
6. 8 hour orientation day
7. More paperwork, then work
Interview questions [3]
Question 1
How do you make a decision when there is no policy guiding you?
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at AutoZone (Oxford, NC) in Mar 2017
Interview
Questions were more oriented towards sales knowledge, rather than vehicle. Interview was extremely short and seemed like they were trying to find someone who would put up truck, planograms, anything the upper management found tedious. Basically they needed a puppet, a greenhorn who would bow to master. I worked my butt off once hired, became a manager eventually, but I was shot down for 2 years before my results were impossible to ignore through sales numbers, wittidjr, and other areas in the district as opposed to our other stores in the area.
