      Federal Government Sales Manager - National Interview

      15 Jan 2014
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Lake Forest, IL
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Grainger (Lake Forest, IL) in Oct 2013

      Interview

      Panel interview with behavioral questions regarding the competencies / skills they were looking for regarding the position. The position was for ARMY and some other federal locations

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      They were apparently looking for a detailed business plan and someone with national footprint experience. Most unexpected is what is negative coaching i have received from a manager? when i answered, they continued to push on what it was, When I tried to turn it to how i took the coaching and act on it, i could not get them to let me turn it around.
