CarMax Sales Consultant Interview Questions & Reviews

Interview Details – Its been so long dont recall. Think just basic quesions about sales.

Interview Details – Interview with several managers in one visit. Standard interview questions.

Interview Details – CarMax hires its sales consultants on the spot, or fairly soon after the initial interview. There are online questions that a candidate must answer at the beginning of the interview process. After which, the candidate meets with a department manager (not necessarily in the sales department). If that interview goes well, then a second interview is done with a different manager. I was offered a position after the second interview.

Interview Details – The interview process at Carmax is somewhat in-depth, they have you meet with several different department heads and mangers to determine if you are a good fit for the team and company. They ask typical open-ended questions and want you to relate your prior experience to how you can fit well with the team and be a good employee. I liked the interview process, it was personable and professional. Just be yourself and be excited about the opportunity.

Negotiation Details – No negotion. Standardized

Interview Details – I submitted an Online application, time consuming, as you answer 50 or so multiple choice personality questions.

Callback from a Sales Manager within 48 hours, for phone interview, mainly a conversation and a few questions as to your interest.

In person interviews, you go through two/three of them on the same day, they appear to deliberately make you wait a lot, for reasons unknown. You also go through a role play where you "play" a sales consultant selling a car to one or more manager. I was offered a job same day and set a time to come in to sign paperwork etc.

Interview Details – You are first interviewed over the phone where they ask you a number of questions to feel if your a good fit for the position. Then from there you are scheduled with an interview what they don't tell you is that this interview may take three to four hours. From there you are brought in and usually interviewed by a manager from a different department that ask you a number of scripted questions. If you do well you are interviewed by a sales manager from there you are interviewed again by two sales managers who put on a script where you are to sell them a car. If you do well you are then interviewed by the Location General Manager and if he/she likes you, then you are offered the job or rescheduled to come in.

Negotiation Details – They simply tel you the pay scale.

Interview Details – The interview process consists of 3-4 hours of interviews. These interviews are conducted by 2-4 different managers.

Interview Details – I had three interviews with CarMax, two interviews were on one day and the third was on another day due to time restrictions on their behalf. For the first interview, they ask you to bring in a print out of 2 cars from their website and you will have to choose one to pretend and sell. Normally you would go to the car itself and pretend as if you're trying to sell it, but in my case it was raining so I did not have to go outside. If you can make through the first and second interview, you will more than likely be offered a job on the third interview.

Interview Details – Interview process starts off with a phone interview. If that goes well, an in-person interview is scheduled. That interview was considerably long (about 3 hours) and I was interviewed by three managers. (Who can all be from different departments) Just before that portion of the interview, I filled out a questionnaire via one of the available questions. Many detailed and specific questions were asked about my character, work history, drug/alcohol use, etc. I was given the job on the spot, and was immediately required to submit my urine for a drug test. After that, one of the managers went over the general rules and regulations, pay, benefits, etc.

Negotiation Details – No negotiation because it was all commission based,
