I applied online. I interviewed at ViPeak Global (Chicago, IL) in Jun 2017
Interview
I started with an email and I actually had the ability to book myself in for an interview. I sat down with the newly promoted assistant manager, his name was Yanni and he was super excited just to meet with me. He told me there was a great opportunity here and he saw the potential in me to do it and I came back for a second round interview.
Over the second round interview, they showed me the ins and outs of the company. As well as the pros and cons, and as well bought me free lunch while they did it. At the end of the day, I sat down with Yanni again and he decided to give me a shot.
Now I have been here for 2 months and am going to a national conference in New York for all of the Rising Stars and potential managers to increase my knowledge and wealth. Super Grateful
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How do I benefit the company, and what skills have I learned that could work in any aspect of business?
The process took 2 days. I interviewed at ViPeak Global
Interview
My first impression of the company was how friendly and helpful all of the staff were, I had a few questions before the interview and the lady I spoke to over the phone did everything to make sure all of my questions were answered. First interview was quick about learning the background of the company and to see if it's a good match for both parties. I got through to the second stage of the interviewing process and I was amazed at finding a company that was not only willing to teach everything to know about marketing, but also provides such tangible opportunities for progression.

I applied online. I interviewed at ViPeak Global (Oak Park, IL) in Jun 2017
Interview
I applied on LinkedIn with the Easy Apply button. They contacted me the next day to come in for an interview. The first interview was fast and easy. Just simply talking about yourself and hearing about their experiences with the company.
I interviewed on a Friday morning, they called me later to ask if I could come for an all day interview the following day from 10:30am-5/6pm. I accepted and knew that once I found out the day-to-day of the position i would know whether I would stay or not.
I showed up early. When 10:30am rolled around they had us waiting until 10:50am when the manager came out and said they had a client meeting until 11am and then they would be with us. Very unprofessional. Then they paired us up with someone currently working there who would be evaluating us. We also were shadowing a new hire who was a couple weeks in. They drove me 40 minutes out of the city to a Wal-Mart to sell Xfinity. They also drove one of their own cars which the AC didn't work (how lovely). After observing them going up to people for 30 minutes I thanked the girl for her time and told her I didn't think this position was right for me. I apparently "prejudged a great opportunity" but they let me go and told me to find my own ride or call an Uber.
They chose their words very carefully in the position listing as well as in the first interview. Event-based promotions as the office manager talked to me about in the first interview was selling Xfinity in Wal-Mart.
Marketing Assistant is a direct-sales/door to door sales.
STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY. They are willing to lie to get applicants in the door.

Interview
This company is a SCAM!!! They get back to you so quick like in a day or two after you apply. The first interview takes about 10-15 min where the president guy quickly explains about how their company is expanding and in need of more managers but does not clearly explain what exactly they do (Supposedly works with Xfinity and Comcast.) On the same day, they call you to come in the next day from 10:30am-7pm which is basically to just use your time to sell whatever they are selling (Xfinity product.) They most likely to tell you that you did not get an offer if you stuck to it. However, the most applicants just withdraw before they decline them, which is actually good for them. They only thing they need is free work from a number of applicants for as many day as possible. Who knows how often they have 2nd interview with applicants. Probably multiple times a week. The 2nd interview is just a shadow word for using people's free work.

Question 1
Silly questions; the president guy was not even interested in who I was.
