Ho presentato la mia candidatura online. La procedura ha richiesto 5 giorni. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso OutboundEngine (Austin, TX) nel mese di apr 2014
Colloquio
My communications were positive and upbeat. They were upfront in the requirements and environment of the prospective job. I was interviewed 3 times. Each person was upbeat and high energy. However, the work environment was boiler room quality. Tall desks with no chairs. A high volume of calls expected.

The unexpected question was what is your best quality and your worst quality. It was an interesting question because you are being asked to reveal a negative side of your personality when you are there to project nothing but positive.

Red Flag #1 - They were quick to respond to my application, within hours.
Red Flag #2 - The music during in the back ground during the phone screen was loud and highly unprofessional
Red Flag #3 - They listen to your calls and coach while on the call. Sales reps should not be near a phone or talking to prospects until they are trained.

There was no difficult questions asked. I think I asked more than he was able to answer.

Colloquio
After a preliminary phone interview with their recruiting manager, I was asked to come in and talk with the sales managers about the position. When I arrived they seemed to have a couple of investors in the building and instead they asked me to sit next to a sales rep to listen to the pitch. Afterwards, I sat down with one of the Sales Manager and we proceeded to talk more about the position.

I asked the Sales Manager 'why I should join the OutboundEngine team if I were offered a position' to which he answered "you shouldn't". In all fairness, I have no previous experience in cold calling sales, but rather sales in a general role. His explanation was that this was a very hard job and it required some background in cold call sales
