You'll want to showcase your work ethic by revealing how well-researched and equipped you were for your interview. Start by familiarizing yourself with their core values and mission statements. Then go deeper than what CarMax offers about themselves on their website, such as, "CarMax is the nation's largest retailer of used autos, driving integrity and transparency in every interaction, wherever they are." Learn about the company's history and humble beginnings, such as how it began as a concept developed by the executives of Circuit City in 1991 and was then known as "Honest Rick's Used Cars."

"Your company was founded in 1993 as a division of Circuit City and currently has locations in 41 states, selling over 750,000 vehicles in 2021. You were the first auto dealership to offer a trade-in guarantee, a no-hassle buying experience, and even online marketing. It would feel good to work at a company like CarMax that values innovation."
