      Retail Sales Associate Interview

      Dec 9, 2017
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Virginia Beach, VA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at CarMax (Virginia Beach, VA) in Sep 2017

      Interview

      They claim to be a company that trains associates to be car salesman, but if you have no experience then you wont get hired.. how does that make any sense? They asked the same questions just in different forms. It was a long interview with 3 to 4 sections and it was a complete waste of my time. They also DO NOT give VETERANS any type of consideration during the hiring process.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Describe a situation in which you built rapport with a customer.

      I interviewed at CarMax

      Interview

      They call you to do an interview, once they day of the interview comes around they have you wait for the manager to interview. It took a while for the manager to finally come out, at that time I just observed the area. Then the manager interviews you and has you watch a video.

      They gave you real world scenarios and you have to try to pitch a car to them
