Perguntas de entrevista da empresa The History Factory

I had a phone interview that lasted about an hour. The phone interview went pretty well and it led to a physical interview at their DC location. I was given a tour of their various facilities and we discussed the job and my experiences. However, even though the experience was positive, I was ghosted after the second interview. I was given a timeline of when they would make offers and even followed up with my contact, but never heard about the position again. They obviously (as seen in other reviews) just think of people as disposable objects that they can just throw to the side when they are through with them.

Submitted a resume online. Received a request to meet at a local Starbucks for an interview. There was no phone interview before hand - which was OK with me. The website is very self explanatory in terms of what the company does. You just have to take the time to read the blogs, watch the videos, etc.to have a better understanding of what they do. 1). The person who interviewed me bought me coffee. 2). Gave me a good background about the company and what his department does. 3). We talked more about the sales process and a little about my sales background; but we didn't really go into much depth. He wanted my opinion about The History Factory based on my research. 4).Made it clear that in order to understand the sales process, you really had to work there for a while, and it the learning curve is long. It's not your standard sales job where you make cold calls, prospect for business, handle objections, etc. This is more of a long-term consulting type of job where the sales cycle can be 6 to 12 months. It was hard for the interviewer to really explain the job to me; I would just have to "live it" for a while in order to "get it." 5). Nice interview. No hard ball questions.More of a conversation than an interview. 6). Towards the end of the interview, made it clear that I wasn't a "good fit" for the job and that I would be bored for nearly a year before I would actually start selling. 7). I appreciated his honesty, but I felt that the job posting was slightly misleading or not clear enough. I was told that the person hired for the position would spend most of their time "managing graphic designers" but no where in the ad does that job requirement is listed. I got the impression this may be more of an administrative and/or marketing role. I was also told that others were already "selling" and had more experience than me. 8). I like The History Factory, and I thought I would be a good fit based on my interest in history, the good ideas that I offered, and just the uniqueness of the job. I felt I could learn the specific consulting style required at the company, but I got the impression they wanted a more "low key" person, and that this is a conservative company very much set in its ways.
