Interviewed Jul 2011 in Sacramento, CA (took 2 weeks)
Applied online. Got a call about one week later for an in person interview. Arrived at the store and had an interview with the store manager. It consisted of questions about my knowledge of cars and tools (e.g. What is a CVT transmission? What is plastigauge?). Only missed one question. The manager said that I did well and that he would contact the district manager to set up an interview with me; said that if he didn't call within a week give him a call back. The district manager didn't call so I called the manager back. Within a hour the district manger called and set up another in person interview. The interview consisted typical interview questions (e.g. Why do tou want to work here? Where do you see yourself in 5 year?). Got a call the next day with a job offer

Interviewed May 2012 (took a day)
Applied online, got a call a few days later for an interview. Arrived and was explained the position, it wasn't what I originally applied for (general warehouse), but better, delivery driver. Took a test, identifying if sets of numbers were the same or different, had to score 80% or better to pass. Went on to the interview, some standard questions about past experience. They seemed quite concerned about my IT experience (which is next to nothing) and what I would do if the IT job market improves. I told them I'd be committed and would actually enjoy this job a lot more, they still seemed kind of concerned. Just based on the overall feeling at the end of the interview, I'm assuming there won't be an offer.

Friendly, easy questions, had been called to interview without applying for the position. Low pay offered and I had a better opportunity so I took it.

Interviewed Jul 2010 in Pascagoula, MS (took a day)
The interview consist of the manager reading off questions for me to talk to him about. Then me taking a timed test on some numbers that could be tricky looking at because they are numbers that have letters with them and if they are similar are easy to confuse. Then I went to take a drug test.

Interviewed Apr 2009 in Atlanta, GA (took a day)
The DM really didn't seem all that interested in anything other than previous work experience. He asked questions right out of a book and rushed through the interview. He didn't know anything about the company's benefits at all, but refered me to HR instead. Also, my pay wasn't exactly what I was promised originally. I had to threaten the DM with going over his head to fix it. Finally got it fixed 4 months later.

Interviewed Oct 2010 in Lehi, UT (took a day)
The interview was very short and the first question before I even had the opportunity to relax was "Why should we hire you?" Then he began to explain the company and what he was looking for. If you don't have knowledge of auto-parts I wouldn't recomend this position. They will do a background check, call all of your references and previous employers. Be careful who you use as your references and previous employers. I told him I had no knowledge of auto parts but he still invited me to a second interview after he explained how they offer constant training (also made it very important to mention that I have desire to learn new skills though I lack knowledge of auto-parts)
Interview Questions
Reason for Declining
He did invite me to a second interview even though he specifically said he wanted someone who knows auto-parts but would consider hiring me. If I was to get hired, I don't feel secure not knowing anything about the product I would be required to sell. (I applied as times are tough and need a job"

Interviewed Aug 2010 in Brownsburg, IN (took a day)
I interviewed at the distribution center. You have to take a detail matching test to make sure you've got quick enough eyes to differentiate between small differences in numbers. If you score high enough (80%) you get an impromptu interview with one of the floor managers. This is a typical warehouse position with comparative pay and benefits. It was made pretty clear that I wasn't going to be a good fit; hours could not be guaranteed and overtime could be expected without forewarning. This job seems to be tailored to people without family or financial obligations.

Interviewed May 2009 (took a day)
The experience was very welcoming, there is an excellent store manager at this Oreilly Auto Parts Store who I met with over the parts counter getting an oil filter, and I asked if she was hiring. I smiled and confidently shook her hand and took an application. I turned the application in and in a few days she called me back with an offer. I needed a job so I accepted the job, and here I am, enjoying what I do!
