I applied online. I interviewed at Advance Auto Parts (Daytona Beach, FL) in Dec 2013
Interview
It was a thorough and engaging interview in which I was asked the typical interview questions and had the opportunity to ask numerous questions of the manager and about the company.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Advance Auto Parts (Amherst, OH) in May 2014
Interview
After applying online, I was called back within a couple days, and secured an interview for the following week. The interview was about what you'd expect, just in the back room with the GM. Very relaxed and friendly. After interviewing, I passed a drug test two weeks later, and a week after that I was on the floor.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I was asked about leaving a company I had worked for previously. After explaining he didn't seem to hold any reservations about it.
I applied in-person. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Advance Auto Parts (Milford, OH) in Mar 2012
Interview
Filled out application, then had two face to face interviews. First with store mgr, then with region mgr. Seemed a bit much for a 20hr a week car parts job. Overall the interviews were pretty standard in terms of relevant background and skills verification and what kind of hours I was looking for etc.
