Describe a time you went above and beyond to assist someone. What did you do to ensure he/she benefitted from your involvement?
Describe a time when you realized you needed additional skills or knowledge to be successful. What steps did you take to learn about it? How were you able to use that new information?
Selling colleagues utilize a MyClient system to create long term relationships with customers. Tell me about a time that you worked on a long-term assignment that required you to regularly follow up with others. How did you build and maintain the relationship?
How do you establish trust with others? Please provide a specific example that illustrates your approach. Why do you use this approach? How do you tailor your approach to the individual and the situation?
Tell me about a time where someone was resistant to an idea you had or a suggestion you made. How did you influence them to see things differently and what was the outcome?
Recieved phone call to come in for in-person interview. Was told to expect an email from the brand tep for a 2nd and final interview. This didn't happen. I followed up a few times to ensure I hadn't missed any communication and was blatantly given the run around and lied to by the hiring manager. She didn't make eye contact during the interview and yawned several times throughout. Had they not wanted to move forward with me then they should have communicated next steps properly vs telling me lies that I'm still being considered and should hear from the rep soon for my 2nd interview. I wouldn't trust working for an individual who's communication and behavior just demonstrated they lack proper training and skills themselves to communicated with applicants. If I can't trust that what you tell me is 100% true at face value then I'm afraid it would have been a bad start to a relationship anyway. Disappointed in my interviewer and the folling communication and lack f respect and integrity shown to me.
After 30 minutes of sitting in waiting area for the interviewer to come(and me getting no response when I reached out to let the person who set up the interview know Id been waiting), I got up and left. Complete disregard for my time.
The Store Manager was kind and informative. The interview process was fast and there was a second interview with the ASM, In person for both interviews, and there was little time between communication and interviews.
