Altria Sales/ Sales Manager Interview Questions & Reviews

Interview Details – Applied online and it took months for someone to contact me regarding the first step which was a telephone interview. I was well prepared for the telephone interview and had reviewed possible questions that might be asked. Unfortunately, I was interviewed by some kid who was practically removed from college and had no authority in the hiring decision.

Interview Details – It starts with a phone screen,next is a face to face with a unit manager and a district manager,then moves to a panel interview and finally a field interview. All questions are basic behavior and experience questions.

Negotiation Details – The compensation package is very good so you nothing needed to negotiate

Interview Details – Three interview process: (1) telephone screening, (2) panel interview, (3) day in the field. Questions based on willingness to work in tobacco industry. Panel interview uses STAR method.

Negotiation Details – Formal offer made. I accepted it. Good benefits and relocation package.

Interview Details – They had a display set up at my university's career fair and I gave them my resume. I signed up for an interview through my campus career services. The first interview was more of a screening interview with more basic questions. The second interview was a combination of a short answer test and a panel interview with four employees. This was by far more difficult. They follow the STAR format. Researching the company before going in is a must. The third part of the interview was the Day in the Field where they brought us to a city and paired us with another TSM and a Unit Manager to get a feel for the everyday routine. At this point I got the impression we were getting a job offer for sure, they just like to show potential employees what the job is really like so there is no confusion.

Negotiation Details – No negotiation. Terms were first vocalized through a phone call in which they extended the offer. Then everything was mailed to me in writing. There was no need for negotiation because the salary and benefits are exceptional for an entry-level position.

Interview Details – The first round is a two on one behavioral interview, and you are asked standard questions. The next round is a 4 on one panel where they ask specific questions based on your experiences and how you showed leadership or problem solving capabilities.

Interview Details – Know the STARS System

Interview Details – 3 step interview. Phone interview. Panel and Day in the job.

Interview Details – Phone Screen, Interview Panel, Day in the Field.

Negotiation Details – did not have to negotiate. at the time they recognized that I already had more experience then the average college grad, so they offered about 8% more than normal.

Interview Details – Applied online and received called within 3 hours to set-up phone interview for 4 days later. Phone interview was fairly detailed. Received call 2 weeks later for a panel interview with 4 people. Expected to last about 1 1/2 hours. I was told that first 30 minutes would be a writing assignment to see how I think. Not sure what that is about, but will update after panel interview has been completed.
