A multi stage hiring process, very basic behavioural questions. First round starts with your sales manager; second round with the District Sales Manager, and then a panel interview with VP of sales & HR. I also had to prepare a territory plan and present it to my sales manager.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Where do you see yourself in 5 years? What’s your leadership style? How do you approach sales?
I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Sherwin-Williams (Houston, TX) in Sept 2015
Interview
The interview starts with the sales manager, then district manager and then typically you would go on to meet with the VP of that division. Once you have reached that point, a decision will be made. Once you have passed the interview with the District manager, people like to say you have the Job. That is not always true. The final Interview still requires that you put just as much effort if not much more than the previous.
The interview was intercompany and was conducted via teams. Didnt feel like it mattered as the decision was made prior to the interview. Afterwords it took a while to get the response back I was looking for.

Question 1
Describe a past situation where you had to deal with a dissatisfied customer.
I applied online. I interviewed at Sherwin-Williams (Toronto, ON) in Feb 2023
Interview
The interview was formal. I found the questions to be quite standard: Tell us about yourself, what interests you in this position? What are your strengths and weaknesses? Provide examples of a conflict you experienced in the workplace and how you resolved it.
