Perguntas de entrevista da empresa Strategic Campaigns

I submitted my resume on Careerbuilder and received a call from Human Resources the next day. I was told the company was looking for Entry Level people that would cross trained in sales, marketing, and management. My first interview was about 20 minutes long. First off I was really impressed with the environment. The people that work there seemed to be a lot of professionals like me that really enjoyed being there. The hiring manager asked me about 7 or 8 questions then explained to me who the company was, what they were doing and who they were looking for. I felt like it might be a great fit, so when I was invited in for a second interview I was excited. The second interview was almost a full day job shadow. I hung out with one of the trainers for the day and got to see first hand the duties of an entry level employee. It was fun and exciting. I was very appreciative of the fact that I got a day in the life to help me make my decision if the position was for me or not. The final interview was with the hiring manager again. It was about another 20 minutes. I was told final decisions would be made quickly and they would let me know yes or no within a day or two.

TL:DR This is a sketchy commission only door to door sales position that hides the fact that it is commission only sales, or even sales. The interviewer seemed to work for a different company never mentioned in recruitment. Don't do it! I met a recruiter at a career fair and something seemed off right away. Immediately after handing her my resume she was asking about my availability for an interview and to work. If you get nothing else from this review, know that if they ask about availability before anything else, it's probably not a good job. She was really unclear about what they did, but pushed me into scheduling an interview for the next day. I had things scheduled for the morning, which she kind of argued with, and I scheduled something for the next afternoon. Later, at 4 pm the same day as meeting me at the career fair for two minutes, she called and asked if I could come in at 4:30. I was already very close to the location so I figured why not? I can get some interviewing practice and I wasn't doing anything. She said it would take about an hour. I walked in to a nice looking location with modern furniture and exposed brick. There were lots of windows and it didn't look like a place I would get kidnapped so I decided to go on with the interview. In many ways it resembled the start-up in Parks and Recreation, nice office, very few people, yet those who were there were incredibly energetic but didn't seem to be doing anything. I filled out the same "application" as the other reviewer who declined. I should note there was a very questionable disclaimer before the signature line regarding their rules and regulations (which you are not given or told about) and their right to terminate you. I sat in the lobby for a while, and was eventually taken upstairs by an energetic man in a suit. He congratulated me on getting a second interview (?) and never referred to Strategic Campaigns. He worked for Quill office supplies (at least in the context of the interview). He asked me a couple of basic questions and went on about the position. It kind of screamed pyramid scheme. Commission only sales....to start....but eventually run your own office, bee your own boss, financial freedom and all those phrases that are usually warning signs. He danced around what the position actually was. At one point I said "So basically, this position is commission only door to door sales." Then he admitted it, but continued with the "career path" description. He kept asking if I understood, when I looked puzzled. I understood, the process was just misleading and not something I wanted to do. He listed the "average" weekly income for people at each step. The first step commonly earned $300-$400 a week (assuming a 40 hour work week that's $7.50 an hour, not guaranteed). You essentially could make minimum wage, and not be reimbursed for wear & tear on your car, although gas is apparently reimbursed. Finally I realized if I didn't stop this guy he was going to go on and on for an entire hour about selling office supplies. So on the next "Do you understand?" I just said that this didn't sound like the right position for my career. He sopped, said okay and escorted me out without another word. I thanked him for taking the time to talk with me, shook his hand, thanked the recruiter and went home.
