I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Advance Auto Parts (Virginia Beach, VA) in Mar 2012
Interview
There was a panel review called a gmap done by two district leaders at the same time. At my time of interviewing there was a math test but I think that is no longer used. The questions were fairly basic; nothing seemed outside the box. There was a lot of the general "tell me about a time" or "describe a time for me" type of questions.
