I interviewed at Yelp (San Luis Obispo, CA) in Feb 2014
Interview
The 1st interview seemed like a normal first interview. The second interview was through skype and required the potential employee to talk to three different interviewers from Yelp. The interviewee had to sell the product to three different businesses.

Question 1
It was unexpected that the interviewee would have to sell three different times before receiving his training.
Not bad, pretty basic questions and my interviewer was very conversational and made me feel at ease. I think they just want to see that you can hold a conversation comfortably with a stranger and honestly anything goes here once you’re hired so really be yourself in the interview and make yourself stand out. Don’t be overly professional or timid.
I applied online. I interviewed at Yelp (San Diego, CA) in July 2024
Interview
Set you 3 interviews, easy to navigate, want to show readiness and how you handle objection handling primarily. Typically interviewers are current sales managers who want to see if you have enough grit and personality to be a member of their team.
The process started with an initial phone interview then a video interview with a sales manager that went into more detail and included a role play. I went through a referral so I was connected to a hiring manager right away.

A lot of questions asking for examples of resiliency and facing a difficult situation and how you overcame it
