Difficult interview
Application
I applied through other source. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at SmartZip Analytics
Interview
I found Smartzip via a random job board. I was looking for this position within the area. The interview was for a sales position, so being prepared on my resume to reflect my sales experience was important. I made an impression on the first (of 4) interviewer so it took some pressure off. In any sales interview they want to hear stories that show your tenacity, ability to overcome objection, and that you are not a stranger to prospect. The next interviews seemed more like conversations.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Be ready with stories to illustrate your experience. Nothing was too tricky. Also, close the interviewer.
It was a lengthy interview process with multiple on site interviews. I interviewed with five of the sales managers, the Director of Sales, the VP of Sales, and the EVP of Sales over the course of three weeks.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at SmartZip Analytics (Pleasanton, CA) in Sept 2014
Interview
Very long and intense. Most challenging interview ever, but they are very thorough and they take the hiring process very seriously. Interviewed with HR via phone first, then passed on for in person. In person interview was with every sales manager, followed by director, and then VP.
