In a fast-paced environment like AutoZone, information may fall through the cracks from time to time. Discuss with the interviewer how you have handled interactions with your supervisors in the past. Mention your communication and research skills, and don't hesitate to say that you seek help or clarification. AutoZone would much rather have employees who ask questions than employees who rush into jobs without the correct information and make mistakes as a result. Part of striving for the excellent performance that AutoZone values means doing the job right the first time, and that means tracking down the information you need to do the job.

"When I arrived for training for my most recent position, there was some miscommunication about the amount of time I was expected to stay at the store and train. I was still working at my former job and had planned my schedule around what the training manager had told me originally. When I explained the situation to the trainer, she double-checked her notes and verified that she had originally told me I would be done earlier in the day, giving me plenty of time to make it to my other job. I felt good about the way I handled that situation -- even though I felt a little frustrated, I went to my manager respectfully and non-confrontationally, and everything worked out just fine."

"If I faced a communication challenge like this, I would ask the supervisor how I could improve communication between us. Rather than placing blame, I believe it's more effective to ask for growth recommendations."
