First interview over the phone. Second in person with a mock car sale. Currently waiting to hear back whether I will be considered for a final interview at the moment.

Question 1
Tell me when you went out of your way and above for a manager.
I applied through other source. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at CarMax (Fort Worth, TX) in May 2019
Interview
There was phone interview. Then an in house interview where you meet with the shift manager and do a mock sales presentation. After they said we’ll let you know next week. Interviewer was 10 minutes late and other sales consultants looked like they were playing on their phones not doing any work. Looked like a preview of what to expect how their store is run. Total popularity contest
I applied online. I interviewed at CarMax (Oceanside, CA)
Interview
I had a disappointing experience with interview process. After submitting an online application, I was contacted by a hiring manager/recruiter who scheduled a 20-minute phone interview for a specific date and time.
Unfortunately, no one called at the agreed-upon time, and I did not receive any communication explaining the missed interview or offering to reschedule. A few days later, I received an automated rejection email.
The lack of communication and professionalism throughout the process was frustrating. If a company chooses to move forward or not move forward with a candidate, at least a basic courtesy and timely communication is expected.

Question 1
Are you available for a 20 minutes phone interview next week?
About a 15-20 minute phone interview. Basic questions like past job experience, are you comfortable with customer service? If they like you, you move on to an in person interview. A scripted interview with one of the sales managers asking open ended questions on why you would be a good candidate, if you have sales experience, & that you understand it is a 100% commission position. You will then complete a sales exercise on the lot, where you complete a brief walkaround of a vehicle & present some obvious features & benefits of the vehicle. If you get passed that, you meet the General Manager where he/she will be the final decision. He asked repetitive questions the sales managers did & then asked specific questions like "Describe a time you sold a product, what was the determining factor that resulted in the customer buying that product?"
