Applied online and got a call back on the same day. I was interviewed in Chicago during what the manager called a "hiring blitz" for the summer. The interview questions were almost exactly the same as the questions on the online application, so be prepared with good answers. If you're an engineering student, definitely bring it up because it seemed to impress the hiring manager when I did, even though I don't have much practical experience with cars. Plus I think I'm getting paid at a bit of a higher rate than typical for a part-timer. The hiring process took about two weeks and is as follows: 1. Apply online 2. Phone interview (to set up in-person interview) 3. Interview at Autozone location 4. Call and/or email received if hired 5. Set up uniform and name tag pick up / paperwork 6. 8 hour orientation day 7. More paperwork, then work

Questions were more oriented towards sales knowledge, rather than vehicle. Interview was extremely short and seemed like they were trying to find someone who would put up truck, planograms, anything the upper management found tedious. Basically they needed a puppet, a greenhorn who would bow to master. I worked my butt off once hired, became a manager eventually, but I was shot down for 2 years before my results were impossible to ignore through sales numbers, wittidjr, and other areas in the district as opposed to our other stores in the area.
