I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Ganz in Mar 2012
Interview
Submitted my resume/cover letter via email to HQ.
Received a phone call the very next day from HR in Atlanta. We talked about 45 minutes for an introductory interview. She asked about my background, reasons for wanting to work at Ganz, what I knew about the company, etc. She was very courteous and professional. She was very candid about the positions - I even asked her about concerns I had seen posted on this website about this very job and she answered all my questions openly. She emailed me a questionnaire to be completed and sent back.
The questionnaire was about two pages with long-answer questions about my sales style and experiences. I wrote about a paragraph or two on each question and emailed it back. She forward my info to the hiring manager.
The hiring manager set up an interview with me 1 1/2 hours away (but she actually drove 3 hours for the interview, then 3 hours back to her home state). I met the hiring manager in a hotel and we discussed my questionnaire, the job requirements, my concerns and questions. She was courteous but intense. Politely friendly but not very warm. Most of the questions for hypotheticals and explanations of the job expectations. She told me to expect a call in three days if I was hired.
I thought the interview went really well and was very surprised I did not get the job.

On a scale of 1 to 10 how comfortable are you with technology and computers?
Get to know you questions. Describe your background and qualifications. Why would you be a good fit for this position? Interviewed, then got a call with the offer a few days later.
Easy, your typical interview for a sales job. How do you handle an irate customer, work ethic, are you a team player. Asked about previous sales experience and what I liked or disliked about it.
Phone interview with a recruiter. She was very friendly and professional. She sent me a profile to fill out and told me that I would be contacted if they were interested. The questions pertained to my background and experiences. It was not difficult , but gave them a snapshot of my history.
