I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Ricoh (Dallas, TX) in Jan 2015
Interview
Phone interview with recruiter, online assessment, in person interview with Sales Manager, in person interview with marketplace Vice President, job offer, background check and drug test. The process took about a month total but was very well communicated and the interviews were not stressful and more conversational. It was definitely a plus to have outside sales experience going into the interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe my typical experience in "making a sale".
nothing I can recall. the process was as you would expect and you can see from the other reviews. There are questions and there are answers then a second interview if necessary.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Ricoh (Glasgow, Escocia)
Interview
Invited for initial in-person interview after submitting CV and Cover letter, for them to basically tell me in person that from my CV they didn't think I had enough experience. Timewasters.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Questions were not clear, but basically was asked if I know the Scottish Market. I proceeded to explain that I had a few scottish clients in my previous sales role, but they didn't really give me an opportunity to speak. Their Head of Sales for UK and Head of Sales for Scotland don't understand the 80/20 rule and just like the sound of their own voice.
Very smooth. 2 rounds of interviews. One was a phone interview. After the phone interview, you the manager. The manager asked basic questions around your experience. Additionally, he'll walk you through what typical day looks like.
