Interview Details – I submitted my resume to ADP as i was preparing to graduate from college and two weeks later i received a call from a recruiter wanting to set up a phone interview. This phone interview lasted about 30 minutes and was a low pressure conversation. The recruiter was very pleasant and made me feel comfortable answering her questions. Some advice i would give about this part of the interview would be to have questions ready to ask the recruiter, they love to answer questions and it shows that you are really interested. After the phone interview i set up an in person interview with a senior manager. The interview only lasted 20 minutes and i was offered the position. This time the interviewer was a little bit more intimidating, but i was able to gain some confidence by thoroughly answering the questions. As the interview progressed i felt more and more comfortable and felt as though i could join this team. I would say that as long as you show confidence in yourself that you can do the job you are applying for, and that you have a well rounded understanding of the company, and the position that you should have a good chance of landing the job. I had no background in business or sales but was offered the job.

Negotiation Details – i did not negotiate the salary, it was an entry level position

Interview Details – two levels of technical interview.

Technical skills will be tested in depth

Interview Details – Very biased toward sales professionals coming in from other industries although this position is entry level

Interview Details – I got contacted through linked in to set up a phone interview. The questions were pretty straight forward asking about what motivates me and if I'm comfortable having a quota and going door-to-door looking for business. She was pleasant and easy to talk to.

Next I was scheduled for an in-person interview with two managers. When I got to the building for my interview there was another person already in the lobby waiting to interview for the same job. The receptionist called back and let the manager know the next candidate was ready. They seemed to be interviewing a lot of people that day.

I saw both managers separately. They were pleasant and easy to talk to. They asked pretty unconventional questions that I wasn't expecting.

"If I were to try to convince my wife to read a book about your life what would I tell her about the book? What would the title be? What is the most exciting chapter called and what is it about? What would the last chapter be called and what would it be about?"

"If you got this job and I went for a ride-along with you two months from now what would you say are the 3 things about you that I would not have known during the interview process?"

"If, during that ride-along, you pulled down your sun-visor and there was a sticky note there with three items that motivate you two do your best, what would those three items be?"

"What do you do for fun?"

At the end of the interview they both gave me their business cards and said they'd be in touch. They encouraged me to reach out to them if I didn't hear back.

By the next morning I received a generic email stating that they are moving forward with other candidates and I am not being considered for the position. I called the number on each of their cards hoping for some kind of feedback to find out if there was something I could do to better prepare for a future interview or to make myself a better candidate. They did not return my call.

Interview Details – Initial phone interview with recruiter. Second phone interview with Senior Recruiter., then set up for another phone interview with National Accounts VP.
