I applied through other source. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at SmartZip Analytics (Pleasanton, CA) in Aug 2013
Interview
Interview process was fairly quick. I had a phone interview with the HR Director, and in person interviews with the Sales VP, Sales Director, and Regional Sales Management. I had three hours scheduled and the interviews took all three hours. I was offered a position, and accepted on the spot. This is a sales job! Be confident in your ability without coming across as arrogant! Basic sales skills are mandatory, this is not an entry level position.

Interview
Very long and intense. Most challenging interview ever, but they are very thorough and they take the hiring process very seriously. Interviewed with HR via phone first, then passed on for in person. In person interview was with every sales manager, followed by director, and then VP.

Interview
I found Smartzip via a random job board. I was looking for this position within the area. The interview was for a sales position, so being prepared on my resume to reflect my sales experience was important. I made an impression on the first (of 4) interviewer so it took some pressure off. In any sales interview they want to hear stories that show your tenacity, ability to overcome objection, and that you are not a stranger to prospect. The next interviews seemed more like conversations.
