Technical sales engineer Interview Questions

Do you remember the 6 questions they asked during the webcam interview?

Sorry, I don't remember all of them. Another one, I believe the last question, simply asked if there was anything else they should know about me. And another one asked about a time I had to overcome a difficult situation. That's all I remember.

Thanks!

I didn't know as much about the company as perhaps I should have since I hadn't advanced to a one-on-one interview; just the video interview.

I have to disagree with you. This isn't that tv show "The Voice"....they are going to be able to assess your appearance at some point in the interview process, one of the first things I noticed when going there for an interview was the diversity of the people employed there, so I don't see appearance being a factor.

Just because you don't like may answer, you shouldn't keep asking the question. My real answer is money and I need a F'n job.

There's quite an extended back and forth in actual interviews for questions like this, so nothing quite like real practice.

I told them a person values quality and one thing people do notice is a quality pen. If you continue to use poor quality pens people wont notice you. If you start using a quality pen then people will believe in you and your product because it starts from the bottom up .

How much did you sell the pen for? How many? And for how long?

I said, "I use any incentive I can come up with, like bringing coffee and doughnuts, to establish a positive relationship and a sense of ownership on their side, and if worst comes to worst, I do it myself." Best answer: "Find out what that person's motivation and goals are, and then align your need with their's. E.g., if they are applying for a promotion, make it clear that the task makes them look good to their supervisors, and if they are just killing time for the next year until retirement, make the task minimal effort and make sure they know how much of a hastle it will be later if they don't do the task now."
