Interviewed Jan 2010 (took 4+ weeks)
Had phone interview where went over all of pervious positions, also asked some preliminary "scenario" questions, believe went just well. Was encouraged to arrange my own interview with hiring manager. Went in, spoke for approximately 60 minutes with manager, was asked typical questions such as "what is leadership" and "explain a situation where...", left interview confident that did well. Was called in a few weeks for a job.

Interviewed Feb 2012 in Bloomington, IL (took 2 months)
They guy I interviewed with was not from the HR department so I think that made it easier. He did ore talking than I. I felt like it went really well. I even sent him a thank you note. So far I have not gotten a response from them yet.

Interviewed Mar 2012 (took a day)
My interview started out with a lady from HR. She was nice enough but I could definitely tell this company was a little unorganized from the beginning. She then gave me the number to contact the GM where I was going to interview. When I got into the interview I knew something was off. The GM was extremely rude to me, and he was not at all professional in the way he spoke to me. I'd understand that a bad first impression could be made if I wasn't dressed properly or if I didn't stand to shake his hand or say yes/no sir....but I did all of that. The first words out of his mouth were, "So how much did HR tell you that you would be on the phone. 50%...well that's a lie...you'll be on the phone about 95% of your day". I've honestly never been so disgusted during an interview and came very close to walking out. He then sent in probably five or so other people that worked at CH Robinson to come in and ask me the very same questions. They were much nicer, but consisted of young guys right out of college. I think I saw maybe two women working in an office of thirty or so people??
I called back two weeks later because I had not received a reply. HR had no idea what was going on in the branch, apparently they had made an offer to someone and they declined it. They finally called me the next day and left a message on my voicemail stating they had decided to move on with other applicants. Overall a very negative experience. Just tell them that you would love more than anything to be on the phone all day long...and you'll get the job.

The interview was pretty straight forward. I was asked basic questions of my past experiences from my resume and relating these experiences towards sales.

Interviewed Aug 2011 in Atlanta, GA (took a day)
Went to this interview after already being interviewed for another position at C H Robinson. I was more than qualified, hence why the national recruiter got me the second interview after I was turned down for the first position. A very basic interview and I was not called back, I just received an email stating I did not get the position. I wasted my time twice for this company, the first interview was 2.5 hours. Turns out, it all worked out for the best though because I don't think I would have been happy there anyhow.

Interviewed Oct 2011 (took 4 days)
Don't be shy. Ask questions. Be confident. Be a team player. Be interested in knowing things about the company and do your homework about the company. Interest is key. If you don't ask about the job and the duties of the job you won't get the job.

Interviewed Dec 2011 in Eden Prairie, MN (took 4 weeks)
Started off with a phone screen and then moved on to a phone interview. After the phone interview, I did a personality test. Was told I was a "good fit" and had a group interview then shadowed. Was told there might be another interview if I was still a potential, but would be called either way. Have yet to hear back 4.5 weeks later.
