Interview
Everyone I met with at Iris Consulting Group was very professional and straight-forward with their answers to my questions. There wasn't a whole lot of sugar-coating and they went over the advantages and possible obstacles in the position I was applying for. They also informed me of the numerous advancement opportunities and potential directions my career could go within the company.

Interview
Three-step interview process:
1. Very brief phone interview to see if you are interested in the position. If so, you are emailed information regarding the actual interviews.
2. Your initial interview lasts about 20-30 minutes, so whatever elevator speech you are practicing, perfect it. I had already been interviewed once by the company prior, so I knew what to expect. One thing interviewees need to understand is that this company rather you be honest and humble enough to admit your faults, and not so egocentric when talking about your accomplishments. When you walk in, you will fill out a one page application. The "lounge"/waiting area is not very big. Be friendly and conversational with the individual at the front desk. Bad moods tend to show within the first 15 seconds of an initial face-to-face meeting. When you are called back to be interviewed, you will sit down across a desk with whoever is hiring you. I had the CEO, Jane who interviewed two years prior. Don't make it awkward, rather have a conversation and ask lots of questions. I wasn't quite sure what the job entailed until the 2nd big interview. Through conversation you can deduct more information about the company, atmosphere, and what the goals of the candidate are. It helps if you have questions already prepared. ALSO: BRING A COPY OF YOUR RESUME
3. Extended Interview takes about an hour so it helps if you aren't running into lunch. You will need another copy of your resume. When you walk in, it won't be as busy as the day prior. It is a little more normal where people are working. When you are taken back into one of the offices, you are meeting with someone else. You will be asked to tell them about you, what your story is, and why you are looking for a job. Remember to have a conversation and have a student-like mentality. That openness and ability to have a conversation looks fantastic in the process . Within an hour, you are given all the information about the job, company, and what it all entails.
I want to note that if you are not into sales, are not passionate about sales or everything surrounding sales, then you SHOULD NOT apply for this job. I was offered the job, yet I knew that my passion didn't lie with sales. Because of that, I declined the offer. If your passion is to make a lot of money and work hard, then this is a fantastic opportunity for you. The people there are amazingly talented and they have a fantastic company philosophy.

Interview
I received a phone call one afternoon from a young woman in HR requesting that I complete their virtual interview online. I did not recall applying to any position with this company but I went ahead with the interview. At no point was I told that this was a position in direct sales nor would I have ever proceeded to apply for a position as such. After I completed the online interview I was called in to interview at their office in Charleston, SC. It was then that I was shown their pyramid scheme. This job is door-to-door sales for AT&T. They make big promises and attempt to win you over with their outside activities (such as team outings to bars every Tuesday & Thursday night). I was offered the job the very next day and declined the offer. I would not have wasted my time had I known exactly what I was getting in to.
