        Um. No.

        Either you are 19 years old or work a labor job for a living.

          Sometimes employers must interview 3 or more candidates. Sometimes the hiring manager will pick 2 out of the list that has no chance to get the job in order to make the 3rd candidate stand enough to get hired. Good luck.

              You can get your feet wet there but its so different then any other place in the car business. Good luck on getting the job. Sales? If so, then learn what you can and then go work in an import lots used car dept. That's where the money is in car sales.

                    - I take that back, if you are going to be a service tech. I assumed you were going for sales. Fuck car sales. The most demeaning, boring, high-pressure, un-satisfying job there is.

                      Just dont kiss ass and dont give the rehearsed answers. They know when youre lying. Unless you bullshit exceptionally well, as is the case with me.

                        lol love it. I was thinking the same.



                        Were you applying because of the radio ads?
                        Carmax is one of the worst car jobs ever. It's a good way to learn the different cars out there though.

                          They will probably ask situational questions, like..

                          "If Johnny the manager asked you to do a trans flush, but you were busy replacing a caliper, what would you do?"
                          "If Steve the head technician asked you to smoke marijuana in the janitorial closet and told you that if you dont, he would get you fired, what would you do?"

                          Answer them for practice.
