No Offer – Interviewed in Cedar Rapids, IA Sep 2012 – Reviewed Oct 17, 2012

Interview Details – I received a call from a recruitment company that saw my resume posted online. I was advised it was a position for web-based sales, not cold calls. The recruiter provided me with some helpful tips and questions for me to ask like: What do you expect from the individual taking this position? What are your concerns regarding me, if any for this position?
The interviewer was dressed business casual and the inside of the building looked pretty much the same. Staff coming and going, very relaxed environment. It was a call center and lots of chatter in the cubicals.
Some of the questions were pretty standard: What was your favorite job? What was your least favorite job and why? What skills do you have that make you a good candidate for this position?
Now for this position, you are doing sales calls to businesses indicating they are interested in additional services and you are given a territory to call on. In closing, I was asked to sell myself for the position. How would you convince me that you are the right person for this position?

Interview Question – How would you convince me that you are the right person for this position in a sales pitch?   Answer Question

Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Henderson, NV Aug 2012 – Reviewed Sep 3, 2012

Interview Details – After submitting my application online I was contacted by a recuirter a week later to give me a phone interview. After i based that I was invited for a 1 on 1 in person interview in the henderson Nv office for outside sales position. The person that interview me was rude and was on his phone texting most of the time while he was asking me questions. Then I had to do a sales role play and then he tells me "Hey you would do great at inside sales" and then I was introduced to inside sales managers at this location. I was very upset because I do best with outside sales and I don't want to be a telemarket/phone monkey. So i told the manager I would think about it and two days later I took the job just for the heck of it. Pretty much if you can breath you can get this job.

Interview Question – Sale me something. Basic questions   Answer Question

NEW MEDIA CONSULTANT at Yellowpages.com

No Offer – Interviewed in Milpitas, CA Feb 2012 – Reviewed Mar 27, 2012

Interview Details – The hiring manager/interviewer was very young and naive when doing the role play. He seemed to be new at the job and did not have much experience in the industry. He passed on top reps at the direct competitor who applied and interviewed, to hire individuals with less experience. May have been racially motivated? Come to find out the people he did hire are not selling and are on the way out. After I answered all questions and completed the role-play he said good job and that was it. Did not receive a rejection letter or email. The process seemed quite unprofessional.

Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Oakton, VA Jul 2011 – Reviewed Feb 1, 2012

Interview Details – The interview is a joke, they will hire anybody and lie about how great the job is and happy the reps are. Management acts all serious like you are lucky to be interviewed, but the place is a revolving door so they will hire anyone. Just have to pass a drug test and backround check.

Interview Question – Where do you live?   Answer Question
