    Interview

    1st Round: Interviewing with the people that could be your direct superior (Sales Managers) Easy interview, simple questions most anyone could answer. "Name a time you displayed grit" "Tell me a little about yourself" you'll get called back unless you really screw up 2nd round: Interview with your superiors superior and maybe additional sales managers who didn't get to interview you the 1st day. They do drug test so be prepared for after the second interview, they will give you an offer and once you accept, you have 48-72 hours to complete. This goes for EVERY individual

        Interview

        Great interview process. I shadowed a current sales support rep for thirty minutes, interviewed with the team leader and a manager, and then with another more senior person at the company. They were warm, engaging, and professional.

          Interview

          Initial phone screen and an in person interview by the hiring manager and one by the department head. Both in person interviews were very polite and surprisingly casual in terms of questions and it really felt like they were more interested in trying to get a feel for me as a person.

              I applied online. The process took 2 weeks.I interviewed at Paychex (Fairport, NY) in 1/2/2014

              Interview

              Received a confirmation email regarding my application, saying they'd call if interested. I received a call, and engaged in a phone interview on the spot. Near the end of the call, they said they'd like to bring me in for an in-person interview, which we scheduled on the phone. I received an email shortly thereafter, confirming the details of the upcoming interview. At the interview, I met briefly with the floor manager, then was dispatched on a "listen-in" with an employee in the position. He described the job to me and showed me what the daily activities are like. I then had a longer, more in-depth interview with the manager. And then three more interviews in succession, with groups of two managers/supervisors in each. Quite a rigorous interview process, I thought, for a position where you simply dial and set appointments for agents in the field. My suspicion is that the position probably has a high turnover rate.

                Interview

                Was recommended by friend of mine for an opening, forwarded him my resume which he passed on to a recruiter. That same day I received a call asking to set up an appointment for a 15 minute phone interview. At the end of the phone interview, was scheduled to come in for a face-to-face. At the face-to-face, shadowed a current employee for about 15 minutes to see the basics of the job. After that, sat down with 5 or so Sales Managers and was asked typical interview questions.

                  I applied through university. The process took 2 weeks.I interviewed at Paychex (Rochester, NY) in 1/1/2011

                  Interview

                  I applied through a posting on my college's career website. First thing was an informal phone interview from a recruiter - this came with no warning. That went well - it was mostly informational (as in, them describing the position and organization to me). Then a day and time was set up for an in person interview. This lasted several hours. First, I took a basic math test. Then I met with two NSS managers (2:1). Normal, basic interview questions. Then came some time on the floor (about 15-20 minutes) with someone currently working the position - make sure you ask them lots of questions! Use this time to get to know the position. Then I had another interview with a different NSS manager. Finally, I got called back in to interview with a senior manager. (After this was the drug test.)

                  Interview questions [1]

                  Question 1

                  Explain a time when you had to convince a group of people to do something you wanted to do or felt was best.
