I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at CarMax (Kennesaw, GA) in Oct 2012
Interview
Not great, no background check. They hire people with criminal backgrounds. They will ask questions about your opportunities but not let you talk about your strengths. They are not up front about the collection hours. They keep extending them and tell you that is what you signed up for.
Was referred. Phone Interview lasted 40 mins. Recruiter was personal and allowed me to speak of my experience and skill set relevant to the job I was applying for. Didn’t feel rushed.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at CarMax (Richmond, VA) in Dec 2016
Interview
Had a phone interview then scheduled an in person interview. Basically had to take the day off from my current job. I was at the Carmax location for about 6 hours. Several computer tests consisting of hundreds of questions. Then several 1 on 1 interviews and several panel interviews. I thought that most of the interviews had gone really well. I felt a little weak with one of the 1 on 1 interviews, but thought I had the position for the most part. Didn't get the job. I asked the recruiter if he could tell me why so I may be able to correct for the next time and was told that one of the interviewers didn't think some of my answers were detailed enough.
