Interviewed Jan 2011 in Schaumburg, IL (took 3 days)
I applied to Blue through Monster.com, and got contacted by their Human Resources Department. I liked the relaxed nature of the first round process, and felt comfortable the entire time. The second round interview was interesting and I enjoyed seeing what the job was all about, but felt it was something I could do too.

Interviewed Nov 2010 in Schaumburg, IL (took 3 days)
I was contacted by Blue's Human Resource Department, and I was interested in scheduling an interview with them. I thought the first round interview was brief and it sparked enough interest for me to come for a second round interview. The second interview was cool, I felt comfortable and I saw opportunity.

Interviewed Mar 2012 in Wheaton, IL (took 3 days)
They whole process was very rushed, they want to get you in their and in on the process as soon as possible. Each step in the interview process they wanted me to respond and move on to the next interview the next day, not giving any room for the fact that you may have other things scheduled prior to their random call that day/the day before. They also do not give you any time to think about the offer.
Interview Questions
Reason for Declining
The company just seems kind of like a scam. They are very upfront about the fact that they you will be doing sales, just right at the beginning. But the whole idea of their company is quite unstable, i.e. all the different levels are making money off of people going door to door. And, simply put they are not a marketing firm, as they advertise themselves

Interviewed Jan 2012 in Chicago, IL (took 2 weeks)
The first interview was very simple. You arrive prior to the interview and fill out a application in the office with several other people interviewing. During this the HR manager is working at her desk as the receptionist. Very outgoing and friendly. I thought she was observing us to see if we were outgoing. The interview was very basic questions about the resume. They call you back that evening after they discuss all the candidates.
The second interview is a lot more in-depth. They take you to lunch and go over the compensation and positions of the office and what the different levels require. It is very easy going and laid back.
Interview Questions
Reason for Declining
I personally did not like the aspect of Door-to-door selling. Even though they move you up quickly into a leadership then managers role, I would not want to be managing people doing something that I wouldn't even want to do. I feel like door-2-door selling is fading out and becoming less effective. I also didn't like the hours of 11:30am to 8:30 pm Monday through Saturday. It just wasn't what I was looking for coming out of college with an extensive degree in business.
Other Details
The interview consisted of a 1:1 Interview and a Group/Panel Interview.

Interviewed Dec 2011 (took 5 days)
I applied online and received a phone call to schedule an interview. Everyone at the office was very nice and the atmosphere seemed very relaxed. The interviewer made it seem like a dream job, making a ton of money, and they only hire the elite. I was asked to come back for a second interview where I shadowed 2 employees for the day, which were both very nice as well. This ended up being door to door sales selling cable. Work day was 11-8, and if there were no sales, you made no money. 3 hours in office before even going out that were also unpaid. Great job for someone with the patience, but VERY misleading and aggravating. Don't fall for it.

Interviewed Oct 2011 (took 3 days)
The interview process was very good and did a great job in weeding out those who were not right for the job such as myself. In my opinion the job had potential for those who did not mind going door to door to sell AT&T products. However that was not what I was looking for so I decided to turn it down.

Interviewed Mar 2011 in Schaumburg, IL (took 2 days)
HR called me after I submitted my resume through CareerBuilder.com. Asked if I could come in for an interview. Came in for an initial interview that lasted only about 15 minutes. Then asked if I could come in for a 2nd round interview that would consist of lunch also. Came in for a 2nd round interview that was with another interviewee which I thought was strange. We went to Chipotle for lunch I thought we would be going some place nicer than that. I was offered the position, which every is I later found out.

Interviewed Dec 2010 in Schaumburg, IL (took 1 week)
I was contacted by phone after sending in my resume and asked to come into the office for an interview. The interview consisted of a one on one meeting with a manager. After, I was contacted that night and asked back for a second round interview. At the second round, I met with an employee participating in the program and she took me out to lunch. Over lunch we discussed the position and I was able to ask questions about the daily aspects of the job. Later I was taken back to the office and had a one on one interview with a different manager. That night I was called and offered the position.
