Interview Details
I applied directly on the Dell careers website.
The first interview was a 45 minute telephone interview with a manager based in the US, there were some Technical questions, but mainly about how I handle myself when presented with challenges, and what my achievements were in my career so far.
The second panel interview was also done over the phone. I spoke with 3 people, and they went over my CV and asked questions about my work experience, and why I was interested in this particular position.

Inside Sales/Product Specialist at Dell
Accepted Offer – Reviewed May 14, 2013 New
Interview Details The hiring process was full of anticipation. I applied three times, the first two were unsuccessful. I submitted my resume three times, the first two times I submitted the same resume. Seeming how three months later I never got a phone call I decided to re vamp my resume and re submit it. I sent my new resume in on a Monday got a phone call on that Friday and interviewed that following tue. The interview initially was intimidating, they started off by telling about the position and then started telling me all the negative and challenging parts of the position as if they were trying to discourage me. After that they said walk me through your resume and sale yourself.

Sales Account Manager at Dell
No Offer – Interviewed in Nashville, TN (US) May 2013 – Reviewed May 13, 2013 New
Interview Details A lot of people said they had to go through a series of courses/interviews. I only had one interview and this included strengths and weaknesses. The HR people are nice but just coming out of college, I was a little nervous about the job so I am unsure on whether I get it. However, people say if you make the interview, then you are in good shape. We will see about this. I didn't negotiate or anything because I have not received information on the job. It is nice that they call you and tell you whether or not you received the job because I do not like waiting for ever for an answer.
Interview Question – What are your strengths and weaknesses when it comes to dealing with customers over the phone. Answer Question

Interview Details Interview process was fast, had only about one day of prep time. Technical questions were mostly based around SQL - joins, stored procedures, functions and creating packages. Several statistical questions were also asked such as statistical correlation. Behavioral questions asked were in relation to times you were challenged by someone and had to stand up for yourself or a time when you challenged someone and had to concede to their point..
Interview Question – Tell me about a time when someone on your team challenged you regarding (very specific thing I was the team expert on). This was difficult because since no one else on the team knew anything about this topic, I had never been challenged. View Answer
