Yay, interview at autozone. Options

[bccentaur3]

I have been contemplating on what to were to the interview. I mean its autozone. Should I dress up? Or should I keep it casual? Well the interview is right after class, so I won't have time to go home and change. What should I expect to be asked at the interview? Kind of nervous. Haven't had a job that I wanted this bad. All the other jobs I've had were basically handed to me.

I would wear a nice buttoned shirt with pants. No jeans. At very least wear a polo shirt. I've interviewed for Autozone before, I was turned down sadly, but then ended up getting my job here at Lexus anyways so everything worked out .

[bccentaur3]

Dude, I dont own any khakis.

[bccentaur3]

I'm screwed. I know my stuff, but is that going to be good enough to get the job even with jeans?

[MaskedMan]

Just present yourself well. As long as you don't show up dressed "gangster" then you'll be fine. Just have confidence . You're going to need khakis if you get the job though since it looks as if it's part of the uniform at Autozone.

[bccentaur3]

I'm fine with buying khakis, but I just don't own any at the moment. I mean I have dress pants, but I only wear those on special occasions. Trust my, I am by far from anything gangster. lol.... Some times I think my clothse are too small.

[hongkongnerdboy]

remember manners! :]

[bccentaur3]

Dude, I think I'll be fine. I was just concerned with my attire to the interview.

[D-Man]

Dude, if your jeans are nice then your okay.

If they are DARK jeans wear a LIGHT button up dress shirt TUCKED IN!!

If they are LIGHT jeans wear a DARK buton up dress shirt TUCKED IN!!

And eitherway, DONT do somthing stupid with the collar, button up 1 (or 2 depending on how far apart the buttons are) from the top, (roll up the sleeves though, if it's with jeans) look like a GOOD, DECENT guy who has MANNERS and knows plenty of things about CARS without being some kind of JUNKIE! show that you have INTEGRITY and RESPECT and that your LAID BACK, because nobody like a speed fiend. (off the track at least ) show that your more INTELEGENT than a good dresser, and wearing a polo shirt or PREFERABLY A BUTTON UP will show that you have a sense of uniform to adhear to an upstanding community.

AND DONT KILL IT ON THE F-ING COLONGUE!!

i've fired guys for that...

Think about what a (not being raciest, but the best way to describe) middle aged white guy from a family of auto techs and ranchers would want to see.

BC, that is the autozone way; lol.

really though, that is the best way to stereotype what an auto store manager should be in the eyes of his superiors. this is not absolute, it's just a FREAKING FANTASTIC GUIDELINE!!

And if you played sports, mention that under achivements.... lol. (but not auto-sports, 6gc.net, or myself, does not endorse learning auto-sports on the road!!)

Thats what abandoned fields and vacant industrial lots are for

[bccentaur3]

Yes!!!! I've got a good chance. Played football (team captain) and baseball in high school and football only in college.

PERFECT, captain is an achievement, shows determination, and a sense of being the best that you can be.

[bccentaur3]

But, will the manager even ask me about my achievements?

[joehernandez]

at least you got an interview,,, i have applied there like 3 times and they never called me back

They will typically hold on to applications for a few months until they need to hire people and the phone calls will go out. I remember when I applied to Autozone, I didn't get a call back for like 3 months. One day my friend comes over to work on my car with me and he's like, "oh I gotta go, I have an interview at Autozone." And I'm like wth, I applied there 3 months ago and nothing! Then about an hour after he left, I got a phone call asking me to go in for an interview that day haha .

if not then you force em in the interview. An interview is more of a talking game than anything...

And he SHOULD ask you; if he gives a d@mn about his store...

I would. I'd also ask you about the best sex you ever had

just kidding; i only did that to one interview'ee and he was my little brother...lol.

[bccentaur3]

I actually applied like 4 days ago to be honest. lol... The distribution manager calls me up and told me that the store I applied for was full, but there was one not too far away looking ot hire some people. So I'm like awesome. I'd love to work for autozone. I spend half my time there, and actually gain friendship with the workers at the autozone I applied for. But I talked to the manager and he told me that, he wanted to hire me, but they were full, but its a good thing I'm getting the interview at the other one. So, I'm pretty stoked now.
