Interviewed Jan 2012 (took 3 days)
I interviewed with Chicago Business Strategies a few weeks back. I found the interview process to be much more in depth than other interviews than I have been on in the past. The initial interview was with one of the directors. He explained the background of the company and the future vision of the company. He was great in making sure I left that day with all my questions answered. The second interview was a job shadow with one of the sales reps. I really enjoyed going out and seeing a typical day. That really cleared up all my questions about the entry level role. All in all I thought the people there were professional as well as easy to talk to and very informative. I accepted a position there with intentions of gaining some valuable experience within the business world and a possibility to grow within the company.

Interviewed Jan 2012 in Oakbrook Terrace, IL (took 1 week)
I was initially contacted by CBS in early January, by their receptionist who saw my resume on careerbuilder.com. She was interested in talking to me and setting up an interview, so I called a few hours after I got the email. She described what they did and who they were looking for and we set up an interview for the following day (short notice, but whatever). The first interview was with a manager (they have a few in the oakbrook office), and she basically said the exact same thing as the receptionist did the previous day. She reviews your resume a bit and your previous employment then if she likes you, she calls you for a 'second interview'. BEWARE, this 'interview' is a job shadow and you ARE ON YOUR FEET ALL DAY. I was with a super nice guy on my 'second interview' and he answered all my questions. Following all day of going from business to business, I had a third interview and was offered a job.

Reason for Declining
I declined because you literally drive to every business in your territory and try to get businesses to sign up for quill. That's all fine and dandy if you like that sort of stuff, but its so boring and you get rejected more times than i could count. Everyone was nice and friendly but its so typical of entry level sales. They also expect you to use your own car and pay for your own gas. It sucks if your designated territory is far from the office. I suppose there is room for advancement after you do b*tch work.
Other Details
The interview consisted of a Phone Interview and a 1:1 Interview.
