I applied online last week and just did the 1st (of, apparently, many) interviews over the phone. This one was pretty simple. Just basic review of your answers to the online application. Now I have another phone interview next week,
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What was a situation where you had to ask several questions to sell to a customer, what were they and what was the result. Not really a difficult question but it totally threw me off because I had to think back to a job in sales from 6 years ago. I thought of several without a problem AFTER I got off the phone. Not too bad though. She told me to review some behavioral type questions and have a situation in mind for each of the questions.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Verizon
Interview
The hiring process went really smooth. After applying, you are called to schedule for a phone interview with the HR manager. If that goes well, then you are given another call within a week to schedule another phone interview with another HR representative. If you pass that, then your application is passed on to the store(s) you applied for. From there, you are called by the manager of that store for a face-to-face interview. After that, it is up to them to decide whether to hire you.

Question 1
Tell me a time when you had to overcome an objection.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Verizon (Dallas, TX)
Interview
Applied online got a call to set up a phone interview the week after. After passing the phone interview I was scheduled to 1 academic test and 1 language proficiency test the week after the phone interview. I passed both tests and got a call from recruitment to set up a personal interview with the store manager. Went to the interview, lots of situational questions..what would you do if....all related to sells. I asked the manager whats the next step after passing a phone interview, skills test, personal interview he said I needed to wait from 1 to 2 weeks to get a call from HR to set up another interview with them and that would determine wether I would get hired or not. At that point I was kinda over it the extensive process for just a sales position.
Never got a call or e-mail from them. I got a different job now just putting it out there.
