Interview Details – I was called in October for an Inside sales job that didn't start until January. The phone interview was rather lengthy and took a good 40 minutes. About a week later, i got a call back to schedule a 1:1 interview. This interview was about half the time and the west region sales manager just wanted to "get to know me." She said she liked me and she said I was invited back for a group/panel review where i would give a presentation on DHL.

Interview Details – When applying online you take a brief test. After applying you get a call within a few days over the phone for a phone interview. After the phone interview if you pass you get called in for a 1:1 interview with the hiring manager and HR. If they like you at this point you must then pass several tests including a background and drug test. At this point you have one last interview with the director of the site and he then offers you a job if everything checks out.

No Offer – Interviewed in Plantation, FL Aug 2011 – Reviewed Sep 23, 2011
Interview Details –
First it was a phone interview (a filter) to check if everything in your resume its true. And to give examples of your previous work experiences. Also, what do you know about DHL Express. It took like 40 min on the phone!
Second, an interview 1:1 in Plantation office. It wasnot difficult as I thought. Nice building. Casual dress.
Third, another phone interview with someone that was in UK. It also took like 40 min. This was difficult. It was very especific questions so you have to be prepared!. Especific examples of problems you had solved before. How do you do this and how do you do that from you resume. And how it is your level in MS Access and Excel.
They use Access in everything, every hour, at least in this department. As they described the job position, it had to do more with analyse, and nothing about advertising what it is usual for a MKT Coordinator.
So get the picture clear because you dont want to sit in front of the computer doing queries all day long.
