The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Cbeyond (San Jose, CA) in Mar 2009
Interview
I first was referred to this company through a recruiter. They told me that Cbeyond is interested in aggressive sales people who are money motivated. The key to getting a job here is just to be persistent and let them know you are willing to do anything to get the job. They like to hire young people out of college or proffessionals making career changes and a background with their product is not necessary. The next step is a filed ride where you accompany another sales associate on their typical day in the field. This is B2B door to door outside sales. It invloves a lot of rejecetion and searching for a needle in a hay stack to make a deal.

i showed up for an interview and was brought on an all day ride along with one of the reps walking door to door and essentially worked a full day for free.

I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Cbeyond in Jan 2012
Interview
A repersenative called to talk about the position and some basic information and to set up an interview. Went to the interview and was asked basic questions about my resume, background, and some situation questions and how I handled them. Simple interview and was told at the end that they would call in 24 hours but never did. the job is a cold B2B sales job wanting tons of driving and cold sales to businesses.
