I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Yelp (Scottsdale, AZ) in Jun 2014
Interview
Phone interview with bubbly woman who loved everything I said even though I didn't think I was doing that well. Immediately scheduled me for Skype interview the following week.
I had been studying everything there is to know about Yelp. Wrote out and prepared answers to any difficult question they may ask. I prepared for the two role plays and knew what to say for both scenarios (receiving bad review & business not seeing results/can't afford it)
Never have I been so prepared and excited for an interview in my life. I wanted this position so bad and knew that I was a great candidate. I spoke with two different men during the Skype interview-both seemed very nice and made me feel as though I was doing very well the entire time. Second guy told me they don't hire people who they don't think will click with all of the employees and he told me that he thought I would fit right in, that he hoped to see me around in the office, and that I had a very strong background. He told me he liked that I had a lot of experience with advertising, working with clients, and working on a large account (Microsoft).
I received an email two days later stating that they decided to continue the process with candidates with backgrounds better for the position.
The only thing I can think is that they wanted to hire local?? I am from Michigan but would have picked up and moved the next week if I had to. Idk maybe they just want to hire people who went to big name universities. Who really cares though? Stupid. I don't really understand what they want because the entire time they made it seem like I was going to get the job.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They asked me If I had better verbal or written skills. I explained how I thought I was strong in both places, but I realized the importance of having strong verbal skills and that I had chosen a public speaking class over creative writing in college. They asked me how I will improve my writing skills. Thought this was weird because I already discussed how I had very strong writing skills so I didn't really know what they wanted me to say.
Standard filtering/fluff questions followed by a Mock sales pitch. It was not very different from other Sales/CS roles that I have applied to. It was not very difficult or novel at all.

What is you greatest strength and you greatest weakness?
Easy. Just read job description and discuss with confidence what you will bring to improve the job and how much you are willing to learn to fill any gap in your resume.

Interview
I just had a quick screening call, and it was really focused on sales, more than on customer service. Cold calling is a big part of the role, and commissions don’t start until about 6 months in.
