Interviewed Aug 2010 in San Diego, CA (took 3 days)
Very relax & friendly atmosphere with people from different background. I really got along with all five of my interviewers and felt positive about my responses. Although I thought I was a great match for the position (based on the job description), I was told later on that the company has decided to find another candidate with a very specific industry experience, which I did not have.

Interviewed Feb 2012 in Jacksonville, FL (took 2 days)
This interview was such a pleasure because it was straight forward and easy. I applied online and the online application has this personality test component which has about 98 questions that assess how you might respond to certain situations. In person interview has a simple computer data-entry tutorial, then the 1 on 1 interview with the employee coordinator and it was basically asking about previous experience and ability to handle customers. Then they just want to see if you can work the hours. Very simple and enjoyable. I start training next week. I get annoyed with jobs that make you jump through hoops. This was a piece of cake.

Interviewed May 2011 (took 3 days)
I got a phone call about a week after submitting my application. I was asked some general questions like how many states were in USA, if I could list popular credit card companies, etc. Then, I was scheduled to come in for an in-person interview. The lady in HR seemed friendly and had been with DialAmerica for a long while. I was impressed that she had worked her way up from being an agent to working in an office.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
No negotiation. I worked a shift with a fixed pay rate and that was that. Make sure you can pick your hours wisely. They frown heavily on calling out/in because they need to assure their clients that X amount of people are always available to take calls. If they fall below that guaranteed number, they could get in trouble.

They were nice niough, but vague and unprepared. Kept me waiting for over an hour there because they couldn't get their own testing computer tp work. Finally, they asked me to take the test at home.

I had a phone interview first, then it took me about a month to get in for a face-to-face interview.
In the face-to-face interview, the questions asked threw me off gaurd. She asked me if i had applied anywhere else and where i applied. is that appropriate?

My last interview was mediocre. I was there to try to find employment other that my current job. The telephone interview was the standard phone interview and I was supposed to have a second interview the following week but the pay rate was lower that what I currently make.

Interviewed Jun 2009 (took a day)
The interview process was very easy. They only ask you to do a phone test. Then if they like your phone abilities, then you basically get the job. Anyone can get hired at Dial America. Don't do it unless your like in high school and need a job. It really is not that easy to try to get people to buy scholastic books or book ITT appointments. It's very redundant, boring, although the people are nice and the managers are cool, and have been working there for a long time now. And if you don't make quota on a low volume call day, you are likely to be sent home.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
Nothing was negotiable, especially since everyone who works there do not have a degree unless they are like CEO/President status. It's 8 bucks an hour an you do not get raises cause they offer commission.
