Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Dec 2009 – Reviewed Dec 29, 2011
Interview Details I had to do a personality test first, and according to how they score you on your test they determine if you are right to do this position, then I was contacted for a personal interview and was hired on the spot. Most of the people are professional however, what I was promised as far as territory and amount of renewals wasn't even close to what was promised in the interview.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details – It is straight commission, so there is no negotiating other than there is flexibility in the territory that they will assign to you
No Offer – Interviewed in Jun 2010 – Reviewed Jun 28, 2010
Interview Details Initial phone contact only describes the postion and acts as a filter to determine if the candidate wants to proceed. This initial contact and the subsequent phone interview were done with the same recruiter whom I never met in person. The phone interview was not complex or difficult. Afterward, I took an online questionnaire/personality profile. A couple weeks later I met a more local district or regional manager for an in-person interview. This interview is the one I rate as difficult. It seemed very methodical in the way I was asked questions. I wouldn't be surprised if all interviews for this same position are the same. If I had been successful in that interview, I would have been asked back for a second in-person interview. But, alas, twas not to be.
Interview Question – Role play scenario in which I was asked to read one page of information and then answer questions as though I was a salesperson selling law firm retainers to small businesses. Answer Question
No Offer – Interviewed in Feb 2010 – Reviewed May 02, 2010
Interview Details The interview was largely behavioral, asking for my impressions or wide ranging topics and what different ideas "mean to me". My resume was completely ignored, as it was expected that I provide my experience through story telling that fit the interviewer's needs. I felet the interview went well, but was not offered the position.
Interview Question – What is your impression of "small business"? Answer Question
