Perrys Motor Sales interview questions

This interview took the form of an assessment day, starting with a brief overview of the company and each candidate introducing ourselves to the room. Tower building exercise to show our teamwork and communication skills before moving onto a interview where we simply had to talk for a minute without mentioning cars or previous work experience - bit strange for a dealership position. After about every other exercise, several candidates were removed and told they had failed, I was in the last group to be removed which was just before the end of the day, having just finished a role play exercise - in front of the whole room, each candidate (Acting as Salesperson) takes turns talking to a current employee (Acting Customer) and trying to extract information to recommend a suitable car. Overall I thought it was a strange experience as the contact beforehand suggested I was attending an interview, but other candidates would also be on the premises, but no mention of it being a "recruitment day".

Phone interview that lasted for 20 minutes over all, very pleasant followed by an invitation to a face to face one. For the face to face phase we had to prepare a 10 minute presentation about the requirements and opportunities that come with opening a new dealership. I was very disappointed with the fact that after investing hours of work into the Power Point presentation, the speech, the research and preparation, after having the whole pitch checked over by people already working in the industry, I received what seemed to be almost an automated, very generic declining email; the said email came from a person in HR whom I had never met, a person whom of course was incapable of giving any feedback. Upon her email, I did write back to ask for some sort of advice and opinion in how I could improve my interview skills and prepare for the future but I was ignored. I think that for a Company that boasts about how much they care about their people, Perry's came as a massive disappointment in the respect they show potential candidates whom put effort and care in their preparation. Shame!
