CARQUEST Interview Questions & Reviews

Interview Details – Phone screen followed by two face-to-face interviews.

Interview Details – Applyiedonline, waited to receive call from store manager, I was invited in for an interview 3 weeks later, and I received the job on the spot. Drug test was approximately a week after initial paperwork was filed. Interview was informal, but this will vary depending on manager. Do not expect this same process, make sure you have a clean background and clean driving record if you are applying for driving position.

Negotiation Details – I was offered more than I expected.

Interview Details – I had completely forgotten I had applied for Carquest, and the interviewer surprised me with his call. I had to go in and talk to the store management before being sent out for a drug test. After the test had been accepted I was required to go back in for another interview where I was told I had basically gotten the job. From there I had to learn their system, but started working soon.

Negotiation Details – There was no negotiation, I was told that I was required to accept their pay and hours from the start.

Interview Details – Online App. 2-3hours, Interview. Drug test.

Reason for Declining – Negotiated for better hourly pay than 8.50

Interview Details – I found the job on my university's hiring portal. The application instructions were to call the store manager and ask about the job (I guess it was first-come first-serve). I called the guy, he asked to come in for an interview (which was basically "When can you start?"). Drug test, background check, then first day. Nothing rigorous about it. The "real" interview is the 90-day period following the hire, where your performance is evaluated.

Negotiation Details – None. Basically I was told it was $8/hr or no go.

Interview Details – Phone interview, set scheduled 1:1 interview, discussed qualifications, expectations, hours desired, wage expected. Drug test, onboarding interview, policies and procedures training and testing.

Negotiation Details – I was offered $8.00 per hr. "Just to start." With the promise of a raise to at least $10.00
as well as full time employment as soon as I proved my worth as a counter sales associate.

Interview Details – Apply online and then wait for as one employees up to 8 months before hearing anything back. Your best bet is to go to a store and try and get the manager to let you talk to his district manager. Very hard to get a call back without a foot in the door.
After you do get a call you will have a quick phone interview. You will be told all about the job available and what it will all entail. You will be asked very briefly about yourself and prior experience. If they want to pursue a second interview you will get another call saying they will fly you to the corprate office and you will meet with the department manager. Dress business casual clean cut and shaven. cover all tattoos and remove piercings. The interview will last about 30 minutes and most of it will be explaining every detail of the job. Things you will not remember one hour after the interview but do not be over whelmed. If you can read this review you can do the job. The man interviewing you is a very kind man and a good boss and he will take care of you if you get the job and while you are interviewing make sure to let him understand that you will take care of him by your hard work.

Negotiation Details – You will get a contract saying you agree to work for such and such salary with these requirements but it is not really negotiable. You may be able to squeeze a few more dollars out but they have people lining up for this position. Only if you have a lot of experience in the field should you request more. Of course at this point the worst that would happen is they say no. Just dont say I cant work for that. Use more positive language.

Interview Details – Just sat in a small office and was asked pretty simple questions about education level, past work experience, and where I see myself in 5 years. there were a couple of situational questions that were rather simple. After all of that the tested me to see how quickly and accurately I could tell the difference in 7 digit numbers.

Negotiation Details – No negotiations

Interview Details – I had a face-to-face interview, and I had to take a personality test. If you are hired you have to take a drug test. The interview was fairly easy, but the drug test took too long. The manager had to read from a paper for you to take the drug test.
