      Category Manager Interview

      9 Jan 2016
      Anonymous employee
      Raleigh, NC
      Accepted offer
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Advance Auto Parts in Jul 2013

      Interview

      Initital interview with HR recruiter. Most of the questions were related to my previous work experience. We basically just walked through my resumes and discussed former and current position and job responsibilities. After those initial questions, she asked what my current salary was, it was uncomfortable and I found it awkward to try and not answer the question. I was relocating from Northern Virginia, so I think my current salary was too high.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Most difficult question was "what is your current salary?"

      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Advance Auto Parts (Raleigh, NC) in Nov 2014

      Interview

      Extremely short. They were obviously desperate to fill the role. More tried to convince me on the role and fed me lines of what I wanted to hear.... Which ended up being wrong and innacurate information regarding the company culture and policies.

      Question 1

      Tell me about your background and experience.
