Here are the most commonly searched roles for interview reports -
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Ricoh (Washington, DC) in Feb 2010
Interview
First interview was a phone interview with a recruiter for the SE. He asked a lot of general questions, but he really like the energy I showed over the phone.
Second interview was an in person interview with a manager and the area director of sales. The only thing I remember was being asked how much I wanted to make. I was told to answer the question as realistically as possible. I answered somewhere around $50k - $60k, which was a good answer but they want reps to say $75k - $85k

Question 1
How would you grow your territory into a successful territory
nothing I can recall. the process was as you would expect and you can see from the other reviews. There are questions and there are answers then a second interview if necessary.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Ricoh (Glasgow, Scotland)
Interview
Invited for initial in-person interview after submitting CV and Cover letter, for them to basically tell me in person that from my CV they didn't think I had enough experience. Timewasters.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Questions were not clear, but basically was asked if I know the Scottish Market. I proceeded to explain that I had a few scottish clients in my previous sales role, but they didn't really give me an opportunity to speak. Their Head of Sales for UK and Head of Sales for Scotland don't understand the 80/20 rule and just like the sound of their own voice.
Very smooth. 2 rounds of interviews. One was a phone interview. After the phone interview, you the manager. The manager asked basic questions around your experience. Additionally, he'll walk you through what typical day looks like.
