I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Zillow (Irvine, CA) in Feb 2014
Interview
Responded to online job posting. Like many previous reviews, I was contacted by HR for 15-20 minute interview at the end of that call was set up with a second phone interview with SVP of Inside Sales. He seemed to jump of the page with hyper energy and expected the same from me. I was trying to appear professional and energetic. I guess I was yelling "buy" "buy" "buy" while I was trying to answer his questions about my sales background, which consists of 10 years. He ended the call rather quickly and when I did get to do my mock cookie sales pitch, I new that it was over. I have to say, that for an industry with a big revolving door, I was a bit surprised. Interview tip: Make sure you are hyped up on speed before talking to this "boiler room VP". If you don't bring the "ABC" Always be Closing attitude to this party - your years of sales experience is completely irrelevant. Just sell, sell, sell and you'll be fine. You don't need to make money.. just have the energy they require. Good luck with...those "Zestimates!".
I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Zillow (Seattle, WA)
Interview
So first I had a recruiter that you could tell was reading from a script ask quick questions responded with quick answers. told me some other recruiter will call. he called the next day spoke very fast really could understand what he was asking because he continued to answer the questions that i asked with the same response. he told me someone else will be in touch. Spoke to a " manager" same questions ask why are you in sales blah blah, i proceeded to ask, questions that I wanted to know if I'm interested in a company he didn't seem to be able to answer the questions very well, continued to speak over me. at this point i know that this would not be a position for me. sounds more like a call center and out of 150 employees there are only 10 that make good money is what he said???? hmmmmmm, Ill pass on the free snacks and free coffee.
