I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Exodus Management (Milpitas, CA) in Apr 2012
Interview
You start out by initially applying online by replying to one of the hiring adds or their website. They don't require any kind of previous marketing or sales experience, as a matter of fact they would most likely prefer training you from the ground up.
Key things they're looking for is people who are constantly smiling, have a good attitude about things, deal well with no's from potential customers, and hard work.
They will invite you for a one-on-one interview in the office with the manager for that area. Again, smiling and good positive attitude are the most important things here. After going in more detail about the job, they're looking for you to not have a negative reaction to it being heavily commission driven as well as hours.
After that they will either schedule an in-store interview with one of the top performing representatives in the office, or with the managers themselves to go out into a retailer and see what they do there. This could be setup for the same day or the following 2 or 3 depending on yours availability.
While in the store, stay close to your trainer/interviewer, ask questions, and see if it's something you can do yourself. Chances are, the people taking you out can give you valuable sale advice, or even things you could take to just about any other job and use it to help you.
