      Special Sales Associate Interview

      Oct 10, 2012
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      San Francisco, CA
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Chronicle Books (San Francisco, CA) in Apr 2011

      Interview

      I interview with 4 people: first the manager, then the director of the department, then a second-year associate, and finally HR. The whole process took about 1.5 hours. The manager asked me questions to get a feel of my personality. The director paid closer attention to my resume, and asked me what experience I has in sales. She also asked what ideas I had to increase their own sales. The second-year associate mostly told me what it's like to work in the department. The HR representative asked me typical interview questions. The questions were meant to address how I deal with conflict, how my organizational skills were, how I use technology to increase my efficiency, and so on.

      Question 1

      The questions from HR were the most difficult, but I should have prepared my answers better.
