I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Michael Page (Toronto, ON) in Oct 2013
Interview
Recieved an initial call for a phone screen then came in the next day for a f2f interview. Went rather well then was invited again to meet the managing director. It wasn't the strongest interview but I was invited again for an online profile assessment. The following week I came in again to do a role play with the MD. Went very well and received an offer the next week. You really need to just be yourself and show that you know how to communicate effectively and demonstrate you know how to sell. The job is all about selling people. You're never selling a product.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They only give you 30 minutes to prepare for 2 role plays. One for a candidate interview and one for a client.
Treated you like a criminal. Too pushy already in the interview. Definitely don’t recommend. You will regret it. Don’t waste your time having rounds of interviews. Don’t seem to be a healthy work environment.
Friendly and easy going. it was okay, interviewers were friendly and down to earth, they want to know you as a person so they asked about my hobbies, what i want to achieve in life and what are my drives and motivation
