I applied for the Sales Consultant position with A Wireless on Sept. 16 via a job board. Uploaded a resume and filled out a standard application, nothing out of the ordinary. Sept. 22nd I got a call from an HR representative asking if I'd be available for a phone interview on the 24th at 3:00 pm. I accepted and the next day (23rd) I received a reminder e-mail with an attachment job description which was actually an old recruitment flier, which I found a little humorous.
The day of the phone interview came (24th) and the HR representative I had been in contact with called me at 2:03 asking if we could interview now? I of course said yes and we went into the interview. Basic hi, how are you's, and then immediately she set in to a description of compensation and asked if I had any questions. I didn't, so she asked me a question. In short, she asked 8 questions (2 regarding why I'd left past jobs and 6 regarding the position) which I answered, and then I sat in silence while she typed my responses into the computer.
After the last answer and some more silence, she told me she'd finish entering this information, would be e-mailing me a more in depth application, and ask that I fill that out before going in to a face to face interview. She'd be sending the information she'd just collected from me, as well as the application she'd be sending me, to the area and store director where I'd be working, and then they would contact me for a face to face interview.
I'll update on how the face to face goes and try to take note of questions asked.
Phone questions were: 1.Why do you want to work for A Wireless 2. What drives you? 3.What did you learn in a previous job that prepared you for a career in sales 4.Outside of your every day use, how familiar are you with wireless technology? 5.What do you like most about a career in sales 6.What would you like least in a career in sales.
