Me postulé a través de un reclutador. El proceso tomó 3 días. Acudí a una entrevista en Euromonitor (Chicago, IL) en sep 2011
Entrevista
I was sent over to Euromonitor through a employment agency. They mentioned the role is pretty much the same role as I had previously done for rover 7+ years. Reading up on them, it seems like a good fit and I was open to speaking to them.
I didn’t have an initial phone interview with the HR person (from what I remember now), but by passed to the 1-1 interview because the recruiter was good friends with the HR person at the company. So I was scheduled for an interview a couple of days later with the Sales Manager in charge of the group I’d be working in.
I was a little nervous, but speaking the lingo of what the company did, and what the role entailed was easy. I had done it for years before! I thought it was going well.. he asked me to tell me about myself, and then we went through my education, along with my job history.. all the normal stuff. He was dry, and I kept trying to loosen up, but couldn’t. I had solid answers, but I’m sure my personality couldn’t come out. Towards the end I felt like he thought I lied to him about my experience because I did grow rapidly within the company. He asked me to give him the names and info of my past managers so he could call and verify my information. The interview was about an hour long if not more.
I followed up with a thank you letter and the contact info for my past managers. The recruiter told me I didn’t make it to the next round of interviews. She said “he liked your experience, but found it hard that you were so successful” lol I don’t know what that means.. but that was the end of the interview process for me.

Why do you think you would be successful in this role?
Three stages: Hr screen, interview with hiring manager, and sample sales pitch. Was smooth and straightforward, classic interview questions, be sure to highlight an emphasis on listening in sales calls.

The recruiter sent a Calendly to chat about the role, and she was very open and willing to respond to my questions. She also talked about how the office culture was important to everyone

Entrevista
HR screening - interview with the head - case study interview and presentation - team presentation
The process was quite smooth. However, I did not have a good impression on this company due to few different factors:
1. They request you to prepare for the interviews including case study and presentation. However, they never inform me what happens next after my presentation. If you are asking candidates to spend time to prepare for your interviews, then please at least show respect by informing the result. I do not expect anything big, just one sentence. I asked multiple times, and all they were saying is wait and wait. It is very selfish for the company to do this since there are candidates who need to know the result so that they can plan ahead for their job hunting.
2. I did not like the attitude of the person who conducted the interview. While I was doing the presentation, this guy basically was sitting back on his chair, looking at his phone, sending messages, and not paying attention at all. If you are inviting a person to do the presentation, do not look at your phone. It is really unprofessional. I felt very unsatisfied at that time and this gave me a quite bad impression on the company.
