      Marketing Interview

      Feb 20, 2019
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Advance Auto Parts

      Interview

      Spoke to HR/Recruiter who then setup an interview with two hours for presenting my qualifications and meeting the team. I left my home for what should have been at three hour drive but, due to accidents, took four hours. Either way, I was only 15 minutes late. When we gathered in a conference room, I was made aware that one of the team members had a hard stop in 20 minutes, and the Hiring Manager only had an hour. So, I basically drove four hours for a 45 minute opportunity to discuss the roles and responsibilities of the position and how my qualifications aligned.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      - What are your favorite brands and why? - If senior leadership and marketing want different approaches to a marketing strategy, how would you resolve? Can't remember other specific questions.

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Advance Auto Parts

      Interview

      I applied for a marketing role and after a couple weeks, a recruiter reached out to set up a phone screening. During the call, she only asked me two questions regarding my resume and then said that I was a better fit for the Graphic Design position (which asked for more experience that I didn't have). I ended up agreeing for my resume and information to be passed on from the recruiter to the hiring manager for that role. The recruiter sent an email first thing in the morning saying that I was rejected from the Graphic Design position. It was extremely obvious that she was just wasting my time and she wasn't interested in my application. Very unprofessional that I wasn't even hardly asked any questions and felt very rushed throughout the whole phone call. Overall, this was a waste of time.

      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Advance Auto Parts (Raleigh, NC)

      Interview

      The interview started off wrong with the hiring manager arriving late and appearing disheveled. We walked through a maze of dated cubes and file cabinets before we got to our interview room. We sat down and five minutes into our chat, the phone rung. The interviewer picked it up and glanced remarking who it was, but didn't actually answer the phone. As a professional, this pissed me off to no end because if the roles were reversed, the interview would be cut short. They scanned my resume as if looking at it for the first time, got annoyed by some texts on the cell then proceeded to ask questions that felt random and made up. The interview ended early due to a meeting and I couldn't wait to leave. I will never apply for another position with Advance Auto. Aside from this negative experience, there was hardly any gender or racial diversity. Overall, not a good first impression. NOT INTERESTED.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Tell me about yourself? Are you familiar with marketing promotions? How would you create a digital strategy? How do you stay organized.
