I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at AutoZone (Chicago, IL) in Mar 2014
Interview
Phone screen followed by in-person interview with Area Manager. Then another interview with HR, ASM and RM. No need for any previous auto sales experience. Long waiting process in between interviews and hire date.
I applied online. I interviewed at AutoZone (Adairsville, GA) in Sep 2025
Interview
It lasted about an hour total. Asked a lot of the same questions, just laid out different. Felt that everything was going well, until another, regular employee jumps in the interview. I felt 100 percent I had the job, was even asked a uniform size. It all just went downhill from there.

Question 1
A whole lot of them were asked. Mostly what I did in certain situations.
Extremely easy and well put together. The employees who put on the job fair had it all laid out well and gave me plenty of opportunity to sell myself for the position. They were super friendly as well!

Question 1

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at AutoZone (Cincinnati, OH)
Interview
If you pass the online portion which is more about ethics than skill, you're in. Commercial isn't easy to break into unless you've done this sort of thing, or sadly... are an attractive woman.
