I applied online. I interviewed at Sherwin-Williams (Denver, CO) in Jun 2020
Interview
Phone interview with a regional Recruitment Specialist. The person who interviewed me was unprepared and had not read over the my online company application. I was previously employed who left 20+ years ago. Even though I had said yes to being a previous employee, she said that I had "lied" about my previous employment. You shouldn't point items on the application and make these Specialists look bad. This company likes to hold grudges, even decades long. If you have a liberal arts degree and no sense of mathematics, you will be a perfect candidate for this position. (According to a best friend who manages a SW location).
A multi stage hiring process, very basic behavioural questions. First round starts with your sales manager; second round with the District Sales Manager, and then a panel interview with VP of sales & HR. I also had to prepare a territory plan and present it to my sales manager.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Where do you see yourself in 5 years? What’s your leadership style? How do you approach sales?
The interview was intercompany and was conducted via teams. Didnt feel like it mattered as the decision was made prior to the interview. Afterwords it took a while to get the response back I was looking for.

Interview
The interview was formal. I found the questions to be quite standard: Tell us about yourself, what interests you in this position? What are your strengths and weaknesses? Provide examples of a conflict you experienced in the workplace and how you resolved it.
