No Offer – Interviewed in Aurora, CO Apr 2012 – Reviewed Jun 4, 2012
Interview Details – When entering into office, there was no receptionist, only log-in book with scarce instructions. I arrived 15 minutes early, and wandered if I am at the right place, since the office seemed abandoned. Later on I found out that the rest of people- account executives were in the other part of the office, but it seemed too quiet for a call center atmosphere.
Interview Question – Role playing of a telephone call with a difficult potential client. Answer Question

Account Executive at First Data
Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Aug 2010 – Reviewed Aug 30, 2010
Interview Details – Spoke on the phone with the recruiting manager and she was very nice. We pretty much talked about my previous jobs, and my history in sales. Everything was basic, didn't ask me any hard questions which was nice considering interviews scare the crap out of me. There were two phone interviews which took about 30mins each. Took about a week to get back to me and then I was offered a job.
Interview Question – Why would you be good for this position? Answer Question

Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Jan 2010 – Reviewed Jan 29, 2010
Interview Details – I reached out to the hiring manager directly. The job was an internal posting. I was able to schedule a in person interview to discuss the position and benefits. The interview was very laid back and the manger was down to earth. I felt comfortable asking questions and going through mock sales.
Interview Question – How would you market our product (gift card) to a new business owner? View Answer
