I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Tesla (Los Angeles, CA) in May 2014
Interview
The first interview is over the phone. If that goes well, you will have an in person interview with the store manager. The final interview is with the district manager via Skype. I wasn't contacted for an interview til about a month and a half after I originally applied. Once the interview process started, they rushed me through it...all three interviews in about a week and a half. I started the job 17 days after my first interview.
It was casual and informal. I found that the managers were not very focused and seemed to lack professionalism. I'd recommend asking them more questions about the position and what it can offer you. There will be alot of sales force
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Are you willing to work beyond normal businesses hours.
The interview process was straight forward, but they were unresponsive following. I did follow up, but the recruiter did not make any effort to return my reach outs. I was kind of confused as i thought this was a pretty prompt high standard company.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They asked very open ended questions, pretty generic for band knowledge.
The group interview will do a lot of role-play and will ask to sell me something. They also ask open questions, like, Can you tell me about your sales experience? How do you approach generating new leads and closing deals? How do you handle rejection and what motivates you to exceed sales targets? Also, question about Tesla products.
