I applied in-person. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at CarMax (Birmingham, AL)
Interview
Interview with two Managers. The interview is structured and standard questions are asked. This is the exact interview packet I used for hiring Assistant Managers years ago with 1 question missing (diversity). The hiring manager already knew I wasn’t going to be offered the job. He is supposed to take notes on the interview and score each question, he didn’t take notes.

Question 1
Tell me about a time when you used teamwork to accomplish a goal?
All "Tell me about a time questions" that usually fall into their core competencies categories. Pretty intense and must be STAR strict. Usually for higher up positions its usually 2 interviewers between two to three different interviews.

Tell me about a time you had to analyze data to make a decision.
Long interview process. Had three separate interviews and also had to take a math competency test. The staff were very friendly and I felt like the managers tried to find the best candidates.
