There isn't much to describe here. It was an internal promotion. You work hard, meet the required metrics, align with the right people, and the job before you get the job. That's it.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at ADP (Salt Lake City, UT) in Aug 2013
Interview
Had a recruiter reach out to me on LinkedIn. Did a phone interview with the recruiter, then did a phone interview with their Regional VP of sales. Then went in for an interview in their offices. Pretty basic interview questions - nothing crazy at all.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Standard interview questions. They just wanted know how I went about doing sales - what were my processes and follow-up skills like. Nothing overly difficult or unexpected. Just wanted to make sure my resume was reflecting accurate statements I had made and that I would be a good fit.
