The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at The Hershey Company (Markham, ON) in Apr 2019
Interview
The process started with a live video interview with 3 sales managers. They asked questions to get to know you, the way you work and your experience. They asked that i answer all questions using STAR method. I then got selected 3 weeks later to visit the office to conduct a final interview
with 2 of the district sales managers. The interview this time was more about what i knew about Hershey, my resume and work experience and some tricky HR questions like for example “ whats the most creative thing you’ve done”. 2 weeks later I got a call saying i got the offer. The entire process was transparent however long due to so many applicants and an amazing interview atmosphere in person and online
