      Technical Sales Representative Interview

      4 Feb 2020
      Anonymous employee
      Chicago, IL
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Keyence (Chicago, IL) in Jan 2020

      Interview

      Very long and in depth interview process with multiple steps. First and foremost I was reached out to by a recruiter via Handshakes which is similar to Linkedin. It seems that a lot of the people I talked to were reached out via a recruiter. The first step in my process was a Wiesen Assessment which was a logic and reasoning test. I am a business major and as long as you have a basic understanding of physics and logic you will pass it no problem. Next, was the Hirevue stage which consists of recording yourself on a computer and answering a series of questions. This process can be strange, however, just make sure you answer the questions thoroughly and with some level of enthusiasm. After this stage I had to take a Caliper test which is essentially a personality test. I was sent this three days after completing the Hirevue. The same day I was invited in for the final interview which was in Chicago at the Keyence headquarters. This occurred during January and we were flown there and put up in a hotel that is connected to the headquarters. Everything was paid for and they made us feel very comfortable. The final interview consisted of a few group activities, an overview of the company, a one on one interview with a senior member, and a sales pitch for a product they sent us information about about two weeks prior. Make sure you know this product very well as they will ask tons of questions about it. It was more of a back and forth than a presentation and was more fun than stressful. Know the product well, and you'll do fine. After the career day in Chicago I received a phone call about a week later indicating my location preferences and talking further about the position. Two weeks after this I received a call with a final offer. Two things to note. They do not negotiate on your base or other parts of the offer, so don't even try. The other thing is the offer is very very good. They certainly take care of their employees. The process is long, yes. However, it is entirely worth it and quite fun at times!

      Very odd, one hirevue and then they fly you out to chicago. The chicago process is smooth. One interview and roll play. Great time to practice skills and continue to get better.

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at Keyence

      Interview

      The interview process starts with an informational session. After that, you complete a digital interview assessment, and only those who pass move on to a traditional Zoom interview. There are definitely a lot of stages you have to pass to get to the final round.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      They may conduct a mock sales conversation where you will have to sell them something. Or they may ask you what you think will be the hardest part of the job.

      Interview

      Good practice for the job, multiple stages involving phone screening with HR, meeting with director, then mock presentation and interview with manager. Make sure to practice discovery questions for the mock presentations to help you understand client needs.
