I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at The Dallas Standard (Dallas, TX) in Apr 2015
Interview
Let me start off that they mask what they actually do. I understand starting from the bottom, and working upwards, but it's not necessarily marketing at all. I was first very excited about the opportunity. Being able to help new products and collect information to relate back to the clients. This seemed to include skills I was making in college. Until I saw that their promotions were done in front of people in Sam's and Costco. There's also commission. Which means, you aren't there to collect data, but there to just sell the product. Not something I wanted to be apart of. The employees were incredibly sweet, but the position was not something I was looking for.
I made it all three rounds, and was offered the position. In which I was told I had to accept in 3 days, and made it sound that I was the only round of interns for the summer. When I had a friend tell me the following week that she was interviewing with them. That gave off the feeling that they needed numbers, and didn't care to educate or improve marketing skills in the interns.
It's a great opportunity of you want to gain skills in selling to people, but not if you want to gain marketing skills.
The interview process was not too bad. The lady that interviewed me was very nice and explained that I was one of 12 interviewees and they will select their top three. Once she described what the "Event" included I politely declined. They build up the job and say things like "You'll get extensive training" and "you'll be able to train other" . I ended up being one of the top three and I just had to decline.

Question 1
What makes you different between the other applicants?
I applied online. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at The Dallas Standard (Dallas, TX) in June 2015
Interview
Received a call, came in on a day where they interviewed probably 50 people. Told me that I had made it through (as one of five people to make the next round), and I had about half a day to offer or decline.
There was a relaxed phone interview, "are you interested?" etc, a five minute in person interview, and another phone interview.
