I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Enterprise Mobility (Springfield, OR) in Sep 2011
Interview
I applied on Enterprise's website for the management trainee position. Within 5 days I was called by an HR Rep and had a phone interview. This interview went well and we set up a time for me to have a 1:1 interview for the following week. I live 2.5 hours away from their HQ and drove out there with no hesitation (which I thought would have counted for more than it apparently did). The interview with the HR Rep went very well and she set up an interview with an Area Mgr at the location where I would be working. I felt that interview went fairly well, but a couple days later I received an email letting me know I didn't meet their expectations. I was disappointed, but they probably could sense my hesitation over working so many hours for such little pay. I really like the company's structure and the fact that they're family owned and private; I would have liked to work for them, but it apparently just didn't work out.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why do you want to work for this company? Why do you want to work so many hours? What are your plans for the future? What is customer service to you? What does it mean to go above and beyond? Etc., etc., etc.
I interviewed at Enterprise Mobility (Toronto, ON)
Interview
More conversational than a typical interview style making it much more in depth and interesting. As a candidate you also get to know how the person across you made it to where they are now, using the same trainings you would eventually learn.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What would you do differently than other potential candidates to become an amazing MT.
It was an average difficulty interview with the most standard, basic questions. The interviewer had a deadpan, annoyed face and looked and sounded like she didn't want to be there. I didn't prepare for it and didn't pass, but I don't think most people will have a problem if they just prepare beforehand
Over the phone, Called me from a headhunter and talked about the role and asked if i was interested, then a 30 minute conversation with a recruiter at the branch to see if i was a fit, then in person
