The role of a retail associate at CarMax may require the flexibility to work a wide range of hours, including evenings, weekends, holidays, overtime, and split shifts. Prepare for your interview and thoroughly read through the job description. If your interviewer throws this question your way, and the schedule expectations for the position are unclear, only then seek clarification. As CarMax advertises on their careers website, "In addition to competitive compensation, we have hours that fit your life. A schedule you can rely on." Go in with realistic expectations and assure the interviewer that you are flexible. If there is anything in your schedule that may hinder your availability, be sure to address it upfront.

"I take an evening college course on Tuesdays and Thursdays, so I would not be available those days after 5 PM. Other than that, I am willing to work any shift I am assigned."
