There are three interviews that occur before an entry level sales rep is hired. The first interview takes place in the office, where a manager asks the interviewee basic interview questions, tells them about the business, and gives a few expectations of new hires. In the second interview, a leader shows the interviewee what a typical day of work looks like: going business to business, and acquiring new clients for Quill, an office supply company, via cold calls. During this full day of work, the leader explains the in's and out's of the pitch, territory, payment, and the system. The leader will expect the interviewee to, at the very least, try to engage in conversation with people in businesses after lunch. The third interview takes place after getting back from the second interview. This is, simply, asking how the day went, and seeing if the interviewee believes they can do the job.

Upon submitting your resume/cover letter, someone will probably call you and invite you in for an interview you. You'll spend a little time one-on-one with the office manager but it's mostly a job shadow interview in the sales field. If you make friends with the person interviewing you and aren't entirely incapable of talking to people, you'll get an offer. Keep in mind, you're not really being 'interviewed' as much as you're being recruited. They believe in strength in numbers so they think it's in their best interest to add a lot of people (although I'd disagree). This isn't a typical interview, they won't be evaluating your strengths and weakness objectively. They'll try to convince themselves that you'll become a great sales person one day.
