      Part Time Sales Associate Interview

      Feb 12, 2016
      Anonymous employee
      Milford, OH
      Accepted offer
      Neutral experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied in-person. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Advance Auto Parts (Milford, OH) in Mar 2012

      Interview

      Filled out application, then had two face to face interviews. First with store mgr, then with region mgr. Seemed a bit much for a 20hr a week car parts job. Overall the interviews were pretty standard in terms of relevant background and skills verification and what kind of hours I was looking for etc.

      Part Time Sales Associate Interview

      Nov 7, 2015
      Anonymous employee
      Amherst, OH
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Advance Auto Parts (Amherst, OH) in May 2014

      Interview

      After applying online, I was called back within a couple days, and secured an interview for the following week. The interview was about what you'd expect, just in the back room with the GM. Very relaxed and friendly. After interviewing, I passed a drug test two weeks later, and a week after that I was on the floor.
