Application
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at Cengage (Nashville, TN) in Jan 2017
Interview
The interview process was challenging and interesting for my case. I had my first interview in January 2017 with my Manager & Director of Sales. I was hired in June 2017 after a lengthy interview process which contained a few in person interviews, phone interviews, campus project, and a technology demonstration. I was thankful for how they invested so much time into me to see if I would like the job by actually having to go out and perform a campus project. The interviews themselves were great. Very challenging, but overall a great experience each time and I enjoyed meeting the leadership team I'd have to mentor/groom me as a young employee. In addition, I was thankful to my manager for his communication during the entire process. He really believed in me and I learned to be extremely patient for the opportunity.
Very long and in-depth interview process. Recruiter - Phone Screen- Interview with Manager- Half-Day Campus Visit (you will need to take time off from your current job to do this) which gives you a glimpse into what your possible future job might entail- Phone or Virtual Interviews with Director of Sales and VP- Group Interview with Leadership Team. About a 3-month long process (for me anyways, might differ on a case-by-case basis).

Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They asked me to pretend to sell them a digital product from a list. I chose Netflix, they called me from another room pretending to be a customer, and then I proceeded to sell them on Netflix as if I worked for Netflix.

Interview
For my interview process, I first submitted my resume online. Then, I had a short introduction interview over the phone to schedule the first real phone interview. After the phone interview, I completed two hours of shadowing at Cengage in Florence, Kentucky. Finally, I had a group interview and mock interview.
