I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at PRO Martial Arts (Jersey City, NJ) in Jan 2014
Interview
Very intense. Understandable the level of seriousness that the interviewer gives to the interview as it is their independently owned and operated franchise business that you will be running/managing for them.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Don't recall exact specifics, but they want to know that you are willing and able to make calls (though they don't specify it's with your own phone without compensation for that, including calling/answering on your days off), that you are a go getter and are able to make the sale, and your history. Mine had the gall to repeatedly ask if my previous commission earnings were accurate. I made a lot of money in the past elsewhere and took on this position both out of necessity and interest in learning about franchises.
