Interview
As a Recruitment agency, Michael Page takes their own interview process very seriously. I had an initial telephone interview followed by at least five 1:1 interviews with staff across levels of seniority including: Recruitment Consultants, Managers, Directors and Regional Managing Directors.
Extremely thorough and extensive interviewing, I found the questions challenging and stimulating - occasionally quite personal in nature. Some interviewees would challenge my opinion and argue every answer I gave; this is to ensure that you are able to handle challenging circumstance.
Interviewers are looking for competencies including resilience, work ethic, determination and team skills. Make sure you are fully prepared for interview and have done thorough research on the company and Recruitment industry as a whole.

Interview
I had a final round interview with a man named Sean Puddle. He told me I wasn't a good fit because I was from Long Island and likely had family money, so I wouldn't be hungry enough for this sales role.
Sean is now at Robert Walters, and I'm sure he's been the same jerk there.
