Interviewed Jan 2010 (took 2 days)
I first interviewed with the area Sales Manager which was casual and, kind of, get to know you type of interview. He was open to questions I had and answered all of the satisfactorily. He asked a lot of questions about my background and how well I do as a team player. Next was an interview with a "selling" manager which was quick and to the point and asked about my sales approach and explained hers. Drug Screen & BG check and I was offered the job

Negotiation Details
They are a pretty straightforward company with their program all laid out. There is really no room for negotiating but they have a solid plan.
Other Details

Interviewed Oct 2010 in Lisle, IL (took 2 months)
Extremly long interview process, 60 days from intial phone interview. 3 1:1 interviews, half a day spent doing a ride day with sales rep.. Was told the job offer would be extended after ride day if I felt I would enjoy the work. A week past and I did not hear from them, I contacted the Sales Manager and was told they placed from within, total disrespect for my time, I'm certain they would not have contacted to tell me I was no longer being considered.

Interviewed Sep 2009 in Tinton Falls, NJ (took a day)
the manager spoke the entire time with no interest in what you had to say. It wasn't even an interview, but a conversation on his thoughts on the position. I am actually way over qualified for the position, but really need some work currently, so gave it a shot. A complete waste of time, and almost comical of the way they conduct business, and the interview process. Don't even bother!!

Long process. Had two one on one interviews. Was not offered the job but would have liked the common courtesy of a phone call stating it.

Interviewed May 2010 in Bowie, MD (took a day)
I am a 36 years old black male and I have applied to Yellow Book twice with no success. I am a Presidents Club award winner have been in the yellow page industry for 12 years. I have also learned website development and I am a 4.0 communications major. I have had great interviews with little if anything that i felt was a deal breaker as I look back. Unfortunately each time I receive an email where in the span of a day they have found a more qualified person to fill the position. I feel that if I do not receive a fair assessment of my interview or a good explanation, I will have to hire an attorney to get to the bottom of this matter. Stay tuned.

Interviewed May 2010 (took a day)
Yellowbook had called me once before and did a phone interview. Then they emailed me an invited me to an open house at the nearest office. There were four candidates waiting including me and each person was given a 1:1 interview on the spot. My conversation was a good one, although I knew that the job wasn't going to be offered because the pay was ;ess than half of what I had previously been making. I would have considered the offer and worked hard to "self promote" myself to the account executive level, but haven't heard back yet if I will get a second interview.
