Ho presentato la mia candidatura online. La procedura ha richiesto 3 settimane. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso CDW nel mese di feb 2012
Colloquio
If you do not pass the hour long test during the application to find out if your an intellectual human being you have to wait 6 months to be able to apply again. If you get a call from a recruiter, that's your time to shine. They will ask you basic questions to get to know you, talk about previous work experience and then run by you some customer focused type questions. Example: "How would your persuade a new customer to purchase from you, when they already have a current vendor?" Pretty basic. Do not say you're using this as a way to get your foot in the door! If you win over the recruiter he will set up an in person interview with the hiring manager for whichever team you have been put on. They usually only set up that interview if they plan on offering you the job. The manager will ask you more basic customer service and business strategy questions. Provided the two of you get along you are more than likely going to walk out with a job offer.

" How would your persuade a new customer to purchase from you, when they already have a current vendor?"
Simple and relaxed. Show dedication, persistence and willing to do what it takes to learn and grow your book. Willing to come into office. No prior IT experience needed. Three separate interviews completed.
The interview process was a 3 stage process. 1st - Phone screening with the recruitment agency, 2nd - Phone interview with CDW’s HR, 3rd - Zoom/office interview in person with CDW HR + Director.
Overall 1st screening interview was pretty straight forward and was informed that I would be processed to the next stage and a member of CDW would be in contact next week to arrange a interview. Guess what? A week has passed and no update from recruitment agency or CDW. I’ve sent a email for a update and if the position is still vacant or not? Which is currently pending.
The delayed response with lack of communication and update is a red flag for me as CDW is meant to be a IT Solution company that’s able to quickly problem solve, you would assume organisations skills would be prioritised accordingly. Especially when hiring a positional new candidate.
Hiring process was meant to be a 3 stage interview, 1st interview - outsource hiring firm, quick 30 mins call, 2nd interview - Hiring Manager + Member of Team, 3rd Hiring Manager plus Director.
Passed the 1st interview with ease, was informed immediately that I have passed the 1st screening and a member of CDW will call the next following week. Guess what? The week has passed and I resent a email for a update in regards to the position and if still vacant, currently waiting for a reply from the outsourced hiring company but the entire process seems to be delayed with lack of communication with candidate. Which is a major red flag as you would assume a IT Solution company would be more prompt in both communication and process.
