The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at ADP (Santa Ana, CA) in Feb 2011
Interview
The interview process included two phone interviews. The first was pretty basic, just verifying information from my application and resume. The second was more involved posing different scenarios and asking how I would handle them. Then I went in for a one on one interview that lasted about 30 minutes. I was asked back to job shadow a representative for a day, followed by about 30 minutes of actual cold calling.

Question 1
How do you get past the secretary to so you can meet with the decision maker?
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at ADP (Denver, CO) in Feb 2011
Interview
I first sent my resume to the local recruiter that I found using LinkedIn. I received a follow up a couple days later and an application to fill out. She then told me that she would forward my information to regional sales recruiter. I received a call from him a couple days later and had a phone interview with him at that moment. I passed and he said he would send talk to the local sales VP and determine if I get a face to face interview. He then called and scheduled a face to face for the following week. The recruiter sent me tips on how to succeed in the interview and I would suggest following these options. I went in and interviewed with the VP and you MUST ask for the position. He then said I could go to the next step which would be a ride along the next week but I was leaving for a trip. He then brought in a panel and they interviewed me but I have NO sales experience. They said they would allow me to proceed if I would cold call for 2 hours..really? I had already been there for several hours but I did it anyways. I then left and followed up with the VP who gave me the number to a sales manager whom I called and left several messages for but never heard back. I could've tried harder to get in touch with him but determined that was not for me!
