Ho presentato la mia candidatura online. La procedura ha richiesto una settimana. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso The Coca-Cola Company (Parsippany, NJ) nel mese di set 2011
Colloquio
The first interview is a phone interview. I believe it is a third party company that asks you questions, most about sales and customer service since that is what you will be doing in this position. For example, they might ask you name a time you were dealing with an unhappy customer and how did you deal with the customer and resolve the problem. Answer using the STAR method of interviewing.
Once you get past this screening interview you will have an in-person interview at the actual Coca-Cola office building. First I had a panel interview with 2 managers at the company. They asked basic questions about your resume and previous experiences. They also told you a little bit about the position and asked if you feel comfortable doing the duties in the position and how your previous experiences relate to the current job opening at the company. Finally, the most important part of the interview - you need to give the 2 managers a sales pitch. They will ask u to sell in a specific Coca-Cola product to see your sales skills. Don't panic! They leave the room and give you 5 minutes to prepare. Then they come back into the room and you role-play. You are the Coca-Cola representative and they are they customer that you are trying to sell to.
After this stage, they let me wait in the room I was interviewed in while they went to get another manager that was a higher level than they were. About 5 to 10 minutes later the new manager asked me to follow him to his office. He basically just asked if I completely understand this position and its responsibilities. He also asked if I was offered a position would I be willing to take it, and of course I told him yes. Then he asked if I had any questions and led me out of the building. I asked how long until I would hear back and he said about 2 weeks - maybe a little more. I got a call back less than a week later with a job offer.
I talked to other people on my team and other teams that have the same position as me. Everyone had the same experience that I had with the interview, although there was a slight difference to the 3rd part. I had my panel interview and then 10 minutes later interviewed with the higher manager. Most people had the panel interview and then got a call about a week later to come back to meet with the higher manager. However, once they met with the higher manager it was the same as when I did - he just asked if they understood the job, if they had and questions, and if they would take the job if they received an offer.
****VERY IMPORTANT**** Remember this is Coca-Cola. It is okay to bring a drink into the interview, but make sure it is not a product of a competitor. (i.e. Don't bring a Pepsi into the interview with you)

Started with HR and then they did a phone screen. From there you went to a live interview. Very thorough and had a live portion of selling. Role playing. After the acceptance letter you had to clear a background check, which did take some time.

Very interactive. A couple screening phone calls by HR. Had to do a live sales call. Otherwise standard interview. HR was very engaged out of Chicago and was a great experience for such a big company.

Referred by an employee/friend. They sent me their referral link and I applied online. The process was fast but because they were trying to hire and interview before the buy out I believe. I don't believe it is normally this quick. I applied Thursday and by Friday I had a phone screen scheduled for Monday.
The phone interview was with someone from HR, very typical and average. We talked about my experiences and current role. She did ask me one behavior based questions and I had to answer in STAR format. It was probably about 20 minutes, we scheduled an in person interview while on the phone. HR will send you some information on STAR format answers and a page on Coca Cola values that the questions will be based off.
The in person interview was with the district manager and also a current market development manager. Both were very nice and welcoming. They asked me a few basic questions regarding my resume and why Coke. Then there were 3 behavior based questions, must answer clearly in the STAR format. I will say, the questions were a bit confusing and I wish I would have taken more time to think and make sure I answered all of it. They were one of those questions that had like 3 questions in 1. I could have done better, so a tip would be to have them repeat the question and make sure you take the time to think about your answer and how you can answer all the questions clearly.
Next, there was a role play. They give you a situation and some background info and 10 minutes to prepare. They leave the room.
