For me the interview process for the "Entry Level Hubspotter" position consisted of 4 stages. Each stage of the process seemed to be designed to capture more light on my personality and skills for the interviewing team. If you are successful following each stage then you move onto the next. The stages were as follows: 1.) The first stage consisted of me logging into a program to answer 6 questions that were recorded by video. The program allowed you 30 seconds to review the question and then 2 minutes to answer. 2.) Stage two was a 30-minute phone interview with a recruiter; my first recruiters name was David Fernandez. During our phone call David asked me a few personality and position related questions. I found our conversation to be extremely pleasant in the fact that he was very down to earth and made me completely aware that it was a two-way interview and to ask any questions I wanted to. 3.) The third stage consisted of two back to back 30 minute phone interviews with managers in the field in which I was applying for. After scheduling my interviews on the online calendar I first received a phone call from Nancy Grosvenor. Our phone call went very well. Nancy made me feel as if I was talking to a friend and someone that actually cared about what she was asking me instead of asking tricky questions. All of the questions seemed to be about my personality and who I am as a person. She also asked some company related questions. The second interview was with Cait Downey. She asked me the same idea of questions and seemed to have the same intentions of figuring out who I am as a person and what skills I have. 4.) A couple of days later I received an email from a new recruiter by the name of Noah Gilman. During a phone conversation he explained to me that both Nancy and Cait loved speaking with me and they wanted me to move onto the last and final interview! Noah then explained to me that the position in which I was applying for was one that started on May 23rd. Just a little in sight, I live in Delaware and that would have given me 3 weeks to figure out living arrangements, but there was no way that was stopping me from an opportunity to work for this amazing company. Noah also explained to me that Hubspot does not cover travel costs, again these are just little things that make you ask your self " How bad do you really want it". So that next week I found myself taking off of work and packing my bags to take on the 8 hour adventure. Once arriving at the Cambridge location I finally had the opportunity to start putting some faces to all of these wonderful people. First Noah, he gave me a tour of the building showing me the different work areas. After the tour Noah and I went into an office were we sat and talked about what my day was about to consist of. Three people then interviewed me, each lasting 30 minutes. First, Tim Uygungil: Tim and I's interview went great! I feel as if I was lucky to have him first because with all of my nerves twisting he put me at ease and made his interview extremely laid back and fun. He asked me a few personality questions and then a few technical questions with included scenarios. Second, Annie Schirmacher: She made me feel so inspired to take this opportunity and run with it. The interview was mainly informational and she explained career pathways with the company and how you have a choice to move around. She also left the floor open to any and all questions with I found really helpful. Third, Jim Hughes: Jim is a product specialist and prior to the on site interview I was given a list of 5 tasks that I had to complete. I had to show him how I manipulated the online portal to complete the 5 tasks. I was extremely prepared for this interview because of my studying habits. Jim seemed pretty impressed with how I explained myself throughout the process. After, I debriefed with Noah and was asked if I would like to drive up to the Portsmouth location to check out the office. Again, if you want something bad enough you do what you can to help out your chances. So I took the hour and a half drive and met with Addie and Leif who are two amazing people. A couple of days later I received a phone call from Noah explaining to me that I was not going to be given an offer due to my technical abilities. This was very unexpecting due to the fact that this job is exactly what I have done in the military for the past 6 years and felt as if I dominated the interview with the product specialist. In all I am able to say that if I could go back and change something I wouldn't because I gave the entire process my best. I can say that I took a lot from it and gained a lot of experience with all of the interviews and people. I really hope that one day I can work for a company as great as this one and I want to personally thank each and every one of you for the opportunity to become better.
