      Account Executive Interview

      Dec 23, 2012
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      New York, NY
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Yelp (New York, NY) in Dec 2012

      Interview

      Well first off, the make the whole entire job seem like its going to be much more glamours when you first start speaking with them, than it actually is. I first got contact by a recruiter who set up a brief phone interview with a man who called me on time, but then seemed very rushed and asked some basic questions that anyone could answer correctly, That should have been my first sign right there. So after being invited to have an in person interview, which they sch for three weeks after, for a training class to start a month after that, I decided I was not working and to go for it! I met with three people who all appeared friendly, two out of the three then asked me to sell there services to someone over the phone, mind you I do know a bit about yelp but no not how there sales approach works, or the cost of advertising etc. They give you what they think is good feed back and you are to take it with you to sell the final girl the phone on the desk. I have over four years of strong sales experience and they did not e xtend me a job offer, which I thank thank thank my lucky stars on, bc I did not want to be cold calling businesses 100+ times per day, and from what I had heard go into work everyday not knowing if I would get fired. Not getting a job offer at Yelp was the best thing that came out of this interview!
