      Sales Associate Interview

      27 Sept 2011
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at CalFirst in May 2011

      Interview

      Short Phone interview, basically just to invite you to your first interview. First interview was a week later and was pretty laidback (no questions out of the ordinary). 2 weeks later I was called back for the group interview. The group interview had about 20 people invited back. The day consisted of an intro to the company 2 separate 15 min interviews. Also, a short writing assignment concerning an email you would send to a potential client.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Why do you think you would be good in sales?
      Answer question
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      The process took 1 day. I interviewed at CalFirst (Irvine, CA) in Jan 2011

      Interview

      1 on 1 interview was pretty simple, basic questions. I think they send a call back to everyone for the group interview. Group interview was 3 hours long. Consists of presentation, then two separate smaller group interviews with 3 other interviewees. You have to participate and put yourselves out there. At the end of the day they want someone who can communicate well and make sales.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      In ten words or less, each of you explain to me what our company does
