Today you met 9 people - if you had to fire one who would it be? If you had to hire one who would it be? If you had to work for one who would it be?
I applied through other source. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at James Hardie Building Products
Interview
Interview process was long and intricate. I was contacted by a recruiter and we had a quick phone screen where we talked about my basic qualifications. He passed me along to the hiring manager and I had a phone interview with him about 2 weeks after my initial interview. We spoke about my work history and my sales experience. The next step was a face to face with the hiring manager which lasted about an hour and we detailed all of my past sales accomplishments in great detail. He liked the way the interview had went and invited me to the next step in the interview process on the spot. The next step was a combine interview about a month after the face to face and involved interviewing with 4 people at the same time. They each spent some good time going through my resume and picked apart any experience I've had that matches the qualifications of this job. After the combine interview I was contacted about 24 hrs later and offered the job. The whole process took about 3 months.
