      Difficult interview
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at CarMax in Jul 2011

      Interview

      initial phone interview was basically, how did you hear about carmax? one on one interview ended abrubtly when the per/hr wage was revealed. this position doesnt even register on their corporate website as a position.

      Answer question

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at CarMax in Jun 2016

      Interview

      I applied online which took about 40 minutes. Then, I waited for a week and a half to get a call to set up a phone interview for the next day at 2pm. So 2 oclock came and I waited about 20 minutes for the phone interview, interviewer gave some excuse for calling me late. The interviewer seemed really sketched out that i left my last job witjhout having another lined up and felt the need to scrutinize every detail about it. The interviewer asked about 10 "behavioral interview questions" I played along with this game for about 25 minutes and at the end he told me the pay was $10.75 an hour and that they try to keep buyer's assistants at 36-40 hours. Coming from a job that payed 11.75 an hour, I had to resist the urge to tell the guy to pound sand for wasting my time asking all sorts of stupid hypothetical questions. Dont waste your time applying here. Even if I had gotten a face to face interview I feel I would have to jump through even more hoops.

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at CarMax (Savannah, GA) in Apr 2015

      Interview

      one on the phone interview, two interviews in person, second one the manager offered me the position. The interviews were fairly easy, a lot of waiting around because of how the departments operate and how their interview process works. They have you interview with several people from both the department you want to work in and the other departments in the store

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      A lot of "tell me a time when..." questions, if you look up basic ones and practice you should be fine
