Shortly after applying for the summer internship at Enterprise, I received a phone call from the human resource manager asking me if I would be available for a phone interview in a few days. After I accepted she told me to be sure that I took the time to carefully study their website and learn as much as possible about the company, and that this was a very competitive internship. The phone interview lasted about 15 minutes and consited of questions regarding my sales/service experience (mostly sales), and questions about how I had gone above and beyond my job description. I felt that overall I did fairly well, although I felt my sales experience was not as solid as she was looking for. About 4 days later I received an email saying that they were pursuing more qualified candidates.

I only made it through the first round. I was initially interviewing for the internship program, and most of the questions they asked weren’t the typical interview questions. A lot of them were more situational or scenario-based. They really wanted to see how you think through problems and understand your thought process as a candidate.
