They see if you're qualified based on your background, and then they ask you if you're interested, if you are they put you through 5 days of shadowing. If they see you're a good fit afterwards, they will offer you the job.
I applied online. I interviewed at CarData (Madison Heights, MI) in May 2026
Interview
The interview process was the job shadow, I hadn't talked to anyone before jumping right into the job shadow. I think it is a nice way to really get the person prepared for the job. Mostly I observed and was able to get into some cars. I think if there wasn't another person shadowing at the same time, it would have been better for individual evaluation.

Interview

Question 1
Because the interviews are shadow days, there aren't many questions, but one that stood out to me was having some sort of open availability, as there's always work available.
