I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at AutoZone
Interview
Applied to the store 2 times before getting a call to conduct an interview with the Store Manager. Asked questions from a packet and went over company policies, work expectations, ect. Seemed very thorough to find the appropriate candidate. Was informed that I would be having an interview with the District Manager a few days later. I show up for the interview with the District Manager and was asked the same quesrions, I was given the same company overview as before, and if I was interested in working for a different store if positiins filled up in the current store. (I said yes within a few mile radius). Wad told I would recieve a call later that day if they were to extend an offer from that store. Did not receive a call. The next day I recieved a call from an Autozone 20 miles away. I declined to interview with that store.
