Clearwire Account Manager Interview

Interviewed Aug 2009 (took 2 weeks)

I was originally contacted by a recruiter. Let's just say she wasn't the nicest person to speak with, but somehow I muddled through it. She followed up with me several times within a few days with off-the wall questions, to the point I felt she was looking for a reason not to hire me. The second person I spoke with was a different recruiter, who asked me essentially the same questions as the first and was nicer, but had no idea the first recruiter had contacted me until I told him. I then had a phone interview with the Regional Manager which went fine and had basic sales position interview questions. After that, I had a panel interview with two people -- one who would be my manager and one who would be a peer. This was a mostly normal interview, but I definitely got the impression that the person who would be my peer felt she was superior to me in terms of intellect and would not have hired me. All-in-all, the interviews themselves weren't difficult (I know my business and made sure to have a professional business plan, etc.) but overall it was tedious.
