      Account Representative Interview

      3 Aug 2012
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Declined offer

      Application

      I interviewed at The VIII

      Interview

      Contacted me after finding my resume on Careerbuilder.com. Scheduled an interview very quickly and would not describe position in detail until interview process. Initial interview was 15 min. preliminary where I was told about the company, answered some basic questions, but nothing about job details. I was told I would learn more in the next all day interview process. Next interview is an all day outing with one of the sales reps in their territory, who you will be casually talking to while you go out and sign people up to buy office supplies. At lunch we discussed the pay structure, expected compensation and expected rates of advancement. After receiving a job offer I went back to sign the contract, which required a two week commitment, and the expected rate of advancement and compensation averages were lowered drastically.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Nothing too difficult, they want anyone who can talk coherently and has no qualms employing whatever tactics it takes to make a sale, mostly persistence and making people who are too uncomfortable or kind to tell you to get out keep talking to you until they fold.
