I applied on a Friday and they called me the following Monday to set up a phone interview for Tuesday. It went well and they asked me to come in for an in person interview on Friday of that week. First I answered some questions on a computer. After that I had 3 interviews with 3 different managers and a couple of leads in the business office. I was nervous at first, but they were so nice and it helped ease my nerves. They offered me the job that day. It was fairly intensive for an interview process, but I wouldn’t say they were difficult interviews.

Name a time when you had to multitask to accomplish a large amount of work in a short period of time.
The interview process was pretty simple compared to many companies. After the initial interview with the business officer manager, I had one additional interview with additional managers from the store.
I applied through other source. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at CarMax (Hillside, IL) in Feb 2025
