I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Ricoh (Shreveport, LA) in June 2013
Interview
The interview process consisted of 3 separate interviews. The first was a meet and great where they asked basic sales questions such as "why did you choose sales?" and "what do you know about ricoh?" The second was a ride-along with a current employee and then another meet and great type interview. The final step was to present a ppt presentation to an even higher sales manager. I presented on Ricoh.
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, Scotland)
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.
