I applied through college or university. I interviewed at CarMax (Atlanta, GA) in Oct 2015
Interview
I applied through my college career site and was invited to the first round of the interview process on my college campus. There is an online test you have to take before the interview that consisted of business questions that required some math calculations. The interview consisted of basic behavioral and skill questions. At the end there was a business case study about deciding where to expand the business. Never heard back about after that.

Question 1
Tell me about yourself and why you're interested in the role.
recruiter may sound professional, but they are not. It's perfectly fine to tell the interviewer the truth, such as where you are not good enough, or that we require relocate, rather than tell them that you will schedule the next interview so that they look forward to it, then hang up the phone and send them a rejection letter.
