I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Pearson in Feb 2015
Interview
I submitted an application online and was contacted within a few weeks to conduct a phone interview. I interviewed with the regional sales director. Though I did not have experience with sales, which was clear from my resume, the interviewer asked me multiple times about that. The conversation was about 30 minutes long. With a background in education, I expected that I would be able to speak more specifically to how that may be beneficial, but I was cut off at the knees when it was explained that it would not be helpful.
The interview usually starts with a phone screening to discuss your experience and interest. Next, you may complete a sales assessment or case study to demonstrate your skills. This is often followed by one or more interviews, including behavioral questions and a role-play sales exercise. Finally, if selected, you’ll receive an offer.

Three total interviews: Recruiter, Hiring Manager, Regional Manager. There was also a project as part of the interview. It was not that hard but other candidates were in the mix.
