I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Konica Minolta Business Solutions (Salt Lake City, UT) in Aug 2009
Interview
1) Very brief phone-screen interview for site interview
2) On-site interview with Account Manager (over 10+ Account Executives). A digging into resume, skill set, situational questions ("how would you react.."), B2B, B2C sales background. Personality and skill assessment, as these roles the will train the right people.
3) From the on-site interview, went on a site-tour with Account Excutive to actually see day-to-day operations and sales in action. Toured with top-5 account excutive in the country prospecting (cold calling), following up with older clients. Watched him book $40,000 in commission in that afternoon. Not a typicaly process (and was stated by the Account Excutive "This is NOT typical! But it IS possible if you know your stuff!"
4) A few days later, setup phone-screen interview 1/2 hour with VP (or Division Manager?) over Western Territory. "Why do you want this position" "what value would you bring" etc.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Konica Minolta Business Solutions in Jul 2024
Interview
I started with a phone screen with a recruiter. Then I had a second interview with one of the sales managers. When the interview concluded, I was told that they wanted to move forward with an in person interview at their location. They told me dates and times would be emailed to set up the next meeting. I never received any follow-up message from them at all. I had to find out from a third party that they had already hired someone else. They never sent any correspondence to me letting me know that and left it up to me to find out by myself. It is ridiculously unprofessional to tell someone there would be a next step in an interview process, then not proceed to that step and never give any explanation why. One of the worst interview experiences I have ever had.
