| Inside Sales Representative |
My first step in the job process was to go directly to the company web
link and see what job openings they had available. Then I found that
suited my skills and experience and emailed my cover letter and resume
directly to the company. I had two interviews(with HR manager). One was
a phone interview and the other was a face to face interview. The phone
interview is pretty much a sizing you up process. The interviewer ask
questions like: Why did you apply for this position? Tell me a little
bit about what you did in your last job? Why did you leave your last
job? The interviewer wanted to know if I fit their profile. After more
sales/customer service related questions than the interviewer ask me if
I can come in for a face to face interview. Which I did. The face to
face was a more detailed session that last about an hour. I was very
prepared but this is the first time in an interview that the interviewer
went through every detail of my resume. For example: I had in my resume
that I had strenghts in Organization, Training and Coaching, Team
player, etc.. Every question was: Give me an example on how you use
organization in your previous jobs? Give me an example on how you
trained and coached an employee? Give me an example on what you did to
be part of a team? I have had interviews where the basic questions were
asked. For example: Briefly describe yourself? What are your strengths
and weaknesses? But never like this where the interviewer went through
ever detail information about my resume. If the interviewer didn't
understand something she would ask me to explain in more detail so that
it was understood exactly what I did. Needless so say it was a tough
interview but a well worth experience which I can take with me in my
next interview.
