Account Executive at Valley Yellow Pages
Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Lathrop, CA Dec 2011 – Reviewed Oct 31, 2012
Interview Details – Hiring doesn't have set questions as the manager decides to interview based on your resume. Due to my extensive non-profit experience, manager focused why I wanted to go from the warm fuzzy world of non-profit to the business world...
Interview Question – Nothing really other than the constant question, why do you want to work in the cold world of sales. Answer Question
Negotiation Details – Nothing there other than a drug test and driving record check. Basically $12/hour and commission depending where office is located or straight commission.

Account Executive at Valley Yellow Pages
Declined Offer – Interviewed in Nov 2011 – Reviewed Dec 8, 2011
Interview Details – After applying for the position via email, I received a phone call from the District Sales Manager the next day. It was somewhat of an unofficial phone interview, in which he asked me what I knew about the company and things of that nature. He then set up a one on one interview two days later. The interview went well, however the vibe in the office was quite somber and not as upbeat and fun as I would like.
