I applied in-person. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Dell Technologies (North York, ON) in May 2016
Interview
I'd like to start by saying that the actual interview was a good learning experience, but the recruitment process before and after the interview was the most unprofessional experience.
I got this interview after networking with sales reps and a talent acquisition advisor at a career fair. Great conversation overall, and they asked me to leave my resume and contact details. I then got contacted for an interview from some lady sitting in California. My interview wasn't confirmed till 30 minutes before my interview (which the sales reps told me was HR's fault). When I arrived for my interview, the HR person that I networked with saw me and obviously recognized me but chose to act like we had never met before.
The interview was with 2 sales reps, and as mentioned above, that was a good experience. They were kind and open about the position.
Post the interview, there were no updates, and my emails were ignored by that same HR person that I met and networked with at the fair. Really unprofessional and unwelcoming. I won't recommend Dell to any of my friends, specifically because of the lack of professionalism in HR. To other fresh grads, you deserve better than this.

I had one interview with a recruiter and one with a sales manager and then found out shortly after. Both interviews I was asked basic behavioral questions and the interviewers were very personable. They want to see your personality, that you can answer behavioral questions thoroughly and that you know the company well.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Dell Technologies (Nashville, TN) in May 2026

It was not too bad. They asked me why Dell. It was with HR, and it lasted about 30 minutes. They explained all the benefits, the role, and the process of getting trained for the position.
