Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Do you have a problem working for someone with less work experience than you?
I applied through other source. I interviewed at DEX (Camarillo, CA) in Feb 2019
Interview
Interview by phone. Told about the job which differed from the job posting, which suggested it was a continual salaried position with a commission, a profit-sharing bonus, and spiffs, only to learn that the commission is "very small" (per HR), with no mention of bonus or spiffs, and that no one stays in the role; that after one year, you are expected to transition to an industry-focused sales role that is paid entirely by commission only.

Question 1
The ad said the position was a 'career development' position, and that successful individuals will have the opportunity to advance to full-time sales positions." It went on to say:
Core Job Duties:
•Responds to customer inquiries and verifies customer's understanding of information.
•Records customer inquiries and documents response.
•Responsible for attracting potential customers.
•Offers products and services to existing customers.
•Strong familiarity with Sales and lead generation.
•Submitting requests for quote.
In the phone interview, I was basically told I would be expected to learn all about every product category and part number within a selected industry, to build a pipeline of potential customers that I can later pursue when I am in the sales role, assuming at the 90-day point they think I am good enough. "Is this something you'd like to do?" I was asked.
They make you take a personality test. Pretty simple and straight forward. The lady who was helping me through the assessment process was very nice and generous. After passing the assessment I had and interview with two guys. One of them was very chill and sarcastic guy. The other not so bright. He was pretty rude. Straight off the bat I lost interest in the company and that guy left a bad impression. They sort of intimidated me to test my sales experience. Apparently I wasn’t an aggressive sales man as told from the lady that help me with the personality test.
