I applied in-person. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Grainger (Chattanooga, TN) in Jun 2015
Interview
The interview was incredibly personable and required me to accentuate my positives while still making clear my limitations. It was clear that the role was looking for someone with experience in the role that would be able to report numbers that could show their abilities. I did not have any experience in commission based selling, so it was a little more difficult for me than someone more accustomed to that.
