I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Advance Auto Parts (State College, PA) in Jan 2023
Interview
Applied online, they called back a few weeks later to set up an interview. Very simple questions, they clearly have a revolving door internally. Manager was incredibly friendly though. They’re very open about what the job entails.

Applied online, received an email for an in person interview within one week. Was hired on the spot. Depending on store location, you may have to go through 2 interviews; one at a larger store and the second at the store for which you will actually work.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Typical questions such as "Describe a time you overcame an obstacle / solved a problem". Very easy and straightforward, nothing in particular about your automotive knowledge - although im sure if you have that on your resume you may be asked about it.
