      Sales Associate Interview

      Apr 5, 2013
      Anonymous employee
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      The process took 6 days. I interviewed at WeddingWire

      Interview

      The hiring process was first a phone screen with a Recruiter, where they informed me about the company, the workplace culture, and asked for a general overview of my resume. The second step was an in person interview where I met with about 5 different managers who asked me various questions in regards to my sales experience and education. I was also asked to pitch several items, including an energy drink. The last step was a final phone pitch for their product. It was definitely a very challenging interview, but I enjoyed getting to meet various managers and becoming familiar with what their product pitch sounds like specifically.

      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at WeddingWire (Chevy Chase, MD) in Apr 2019

      Interview

      I applied and they responded about a month later. Scheduled an over the phone interview and then got asked to go in for an in-person interview. When I arrived, they had me tour the building then I sat down with someone on the Sales team, then had about an hour long interview with two hiring managers. The interviewers asked a lot of questions about myself and why I want to do sales. It was very stressful. Then I shadowed a sales associate and got to listen to some phone calls. I left feeling pretty good about the whole interview but then got an e-mail three days later saying they've moved onto other applicants.

      Sales Associate Interview

      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Chevy Chase, MD
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at WeddingWire (Chevy Chase, MD)

      Interview

      I applied to the sales associate job in September and got an email inviting me to do an initial phone interview in October. The phone call was with HR and lasted about 20 minutes. The questions were pretty simple. After that, I was Invited to interview in person at the headquarters in Chevy Chase, MD. This interview was very difficult with two Sales Managers. It seemed like for every answer I gave they weren’t satisfied and wanted to keep pressing me until I said what they wanted to hear. They were not happy that my background wasn’t in sales even though the job posting called for graduates from any major. This interview lasted over an hour with a lot of behavioral based questions. If they don’t like your answer to a question, they will just re-word the question and ask again. The offices are newly renovated and have a lot of cool perks like free hot breakfast, casual work attire, free haircuts and massages and more that attract new grads to apply. But honestly, unless you love being on the phone for 99% of your day making sales calls than this job is not for you. I was joy given an offer but after my second interview, I was not going to accept an offer anyway.

      Sales Associate Interview

      Oct 20, 2018
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at WeddingWire in Oct 2018

      Interview

      I applied online and heard back the next day to schedule a phone interview with a recruiter. That went smoothly and was very informative - the recruiter was super sweet and very enthusiastic. I was then asked to participate in a second interview via video since I was located outside of the DC area, and felt very confident going in to it based on how well the first interview went. Unfortunately, this turned out to be what felt like more of an interrogation than interview/conversation. A previous reviewer mentioned that they got the “good cop, bad cop” vibe and I felt exactly the same. One of the interviewers was aggressive, arrogant, and down right rude at some points. They started out asking typical interview questions, but further into the interview my responses were just twisted around negatively and questioned/second guessed by him. He spent so much time running the interview like this that we didn’t have an opportunity to even play out a sales pitch. I’m not sure if this is some sort of tactic WeddingWire is using to see how you respond when pushed and under pressure, but I think they’d find out more about candidates by having it be a more positive interaction. I left feeling extremely discouraged and wasn’t even sure I wanted the position anymore. I was honestly relieved when it wasn’t offered to me.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Introduce yourself. Why are you interested in the position and WeddingWire? Where do you see yourself in the future, specifically what role? Why did you leave your previous position? How did the metrics and ranking system work at your previous sales position? What were you most successful selling previously? Besides characteristics of the company and culture, what are you looking for? When’s the last time you were in competition? When’s the last time you were pushed outside your comfort zone?

      We genuinely appreciate you sharing your perspective. Our candidate experience is a very high priority for us and based on your feedback, we’re off the mark. The interview process at many companies is often a difficult one; however, it is an opportunity for the employee to get to know the company just as much as it is for the team to understand the candidate’s professional experience. That said, we take all feedback seriously and we are exploring this in cooperation with our sales management team. It’s essential we are able to understand if a candidate is qualified but in a way that is a positive experience overall. Thank you, again, for sharing your thoughts with us. We wish you success in your search and next role.
