I applied to a posting on craigslist (in which I normally wouldn't do for the reasons of quality.) I was then contacted by what I assumed to be a hiring manager for "phase 1 of the interviewing process." When I arrived I was greeted and told to have a seat and that I would have an assessment test..While jumping through these hoops I realized that none of this had anything to do with a sales position. The test consisted of 5 minutes for grammar, 5 minutes for an essay, 10 minutes for math, 2 minutes for logic, and 5 minutes for vocabulary.
All in all I thought that after the test I could talk to an actual decision maker but the supposed human resource clerk told me that she will pass the information off to "someone higher in the company, that will decide if your a good fit for the position." I was taken back seeing I could have done this test from the comfort of my home, while having 5 years experience for sales I thought that it would be more of a personal interview. And that's fine if that's how they do things, I just couldn't imagine the correlation of how I scored on a IQ test and my ability to sell.
I assume that the "Human Resource clerk" is the other review on here.
