Savannah, GAPosted Jan 2019 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I went through a more standard retail hiring flow for an automotive-facing role, where early interviews focused on customer service and basic car/parts knowledge, and it was mostly straightforward but not a guarantee.

Initial interview (store/GM/AGM stage) — I discussed my customer service background, why I wanted to work there, and whether I had prior sales or automotive experience.
Automotive basics check — I was asked general car/parts questions and, in some cases, how parts/systems work.
Manager-led conversations — At times the GM and assistant GM interviewed me together, with a relaxed tone and notes focused on my responses.
Second-stage step — In at least one flow I met more than one manager, and in another I completed a knowledge-and-skills test after the initial questions.
