I placed my resume on CareerBuilder.com. The Regional Manager called me and set up an interview at a hotel restaurant. He shared about the company, answered questions, and asked me questions. It was a pretty standard and typical interview. He gave me a case study and asked me to prepare for a SPIN selling roleplay on it for the next day. The next morning I went to the same hotel restaurant and we did the roleplay. He asked a few more questions. I asked a few more questions, going deeper into pay and daily activities. We later had a conference call with the national sales director to get final approval. There wasn't much to this call, just sharing why I was interested in the position and an opportunity to ask questions. The final step was an offer.

Phone screen by third party who typed up notes then forwarded to HM. Really great gal but you could tell she was going through the process. Once I received a call from the HM he did his best to enlighten me about what the job entailed: low pay, big territory, no flexibility to manage your own routing since he knew best. 13 weeks of training before completely being on your own with three of those being spent in CO and NC. Then after a phone interview we had a F2F that last almost 2 hours. He must have been confused that it was for a low-paying easy job not a highly competitive highly-paid position. No wonder no one has stayed in the position for more than 2 years. Glad, I wasn’t picked. He already had the position re-posted before he contacted me. What a joke!
