Interviewed Jun 2011 (took 1 week)
Know what position you are getting into. Know the company and what they do. Know how to sell yourself and what makes you stand out. In short, sell yourself. If you can do that, they will take you. Good communication skills is a major plus and a cheerful, relaxed personality helps too.

Interviewed Oct 2010 in New York, NY (took 1 week)
I applied to a posting I found online and was contacted within 24 hours by the HR recruiter to set up a phone interview. During that conversation, I was invited to come in and meet face to face with the HR recruiter and my would-be supervisor (separately). At the end of those meetings, I was given 8 chapters of a sales field book to read and asked to prepare a presentation for a specific event (who would sponsor it, challenges they face, etc). The third and final stage was meeting my would-be supervisor again, together with the director of sales for NA, to discuss the sales book and my event assignment. I was offered the position on the spot at the end of this interview. The process went quickly, with no wait time wondering what they thought of me. I was provided feedback at the end of each interview/meeting and offered ample opportunity to ask questions. For the most part, I was asked questions about my experience in sales, why I was interested in this position and why I thought I would be a good fit - typical interview questions. In the final round of interviews I was asked some situational questions (ie tell me a time when....and how did you deal with it) which can feel a bit more daunting, but overall the process was not very rigorous. Securing an offer didn't seem to be very challenging for someone who presents themselves well and has sales experience. I got the impression they have high turnover and are constantly recruiting sales people, for better or worse. This means opportunity to advance if you stick it out, but you have to wonder why the others weren't willing to stick it out. The interviewers seemed enthusiastic about their jobs and IQPC, although I didn't always feel they were being 100% honest and up front (the cynic in me).
Interview Questions
Reason for Declining
My impression of the company in general is that they don't invest much in their sales people initially, which means you are very expendable with little cost to IQPC. Low base salary, no benefit coverage for the first 3 months, poor vacation policy that doesn't seem to get better with tenure - all of these things pointed to poor investment in their work force and I felt I was giving up too much for the change (at the time I was gainfully employed w/ great benefits but wanting to explore new opportunities/challenges). The offer didn't provide me with enough peace of mind to warrant taking on the risk of a career in a new industry for me.

Interviewed Dec 2009 (took 2 weeks)
The interview process is very fast and easy, without answering many questions you will get an offer. Only after joining this company, I realize why. The turnover is very high in this company, while they expands their business to so many aspects and have very ambitious plan, so they are really short of people and give everyone very short turnaround time for assignments. So the conference producer there putting fake confirmed speakers name to finish their projects on time. It's really a big mess!!!

Interviewed Apr 2010 in Sydney (Australia) (took 5 days)
IQPC were a little disorganized with their interview process and the interview itself was not overly structured, in my experience. The first interview was merely a run through of my campaign management techniques and not much on character, management or business growing skills.

Interviewed Mar 2010 in New York, NY (took 1+ week)
3 rounds of face to face interviews, 1 phone interview. they called me. once you got there you have to fill out a really long form so plan to arrive about 10-15 min early. after doing well in the 1st face to face interview, i had to do a homework assignment which included reading about 100 pages of a sales book and applying it to what you do. assignment also included questions on a conference to show understanding about what they do as a company. and part 3 was to come up with a list of questions that you have for them. lots of people in the waiting room at once but all to see different people so hard to tell if they were after the same job or not. they do have a habit of running behind schedule about 10 min on average.

Interviewed Jun 2009 (took 1 week)
It was quite straightforward. Not difficult. One of the easiest interviews that you can go through.
Can't be much simpler than this. Don't prepare too much. Just know the company's business inside out and you will be fine. There will only be maximum 3 rounds so relax.
