I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at BMW Group (Miami, FL) in Apr 2011
Interview
The director of the service department briefly asked a few questions to learn more about myself, what I'm looking for, and provided a breakdown of what the team is looking for. The questions asked regarded my previous experience, including but not limited to my college experience. Other questions asked entailed what I want to strive for in terms of a future professional goal. The overall experience was very streamlined, to the point, and the turnaround time for knowing an answer was pretty quick - within 1-2 days of interviewing, I received an official job offer from the company.
The manager was sharp! You had to pay attention to his questions and look for the answer he is looking for!! He has a specific direction he is was heading and he leads you, however you have to pay attention to what answer he wants!! The interview lasted about 10 minutes and we discussed my characteristics and my experience.
