I applied online. I interviewed at Staples (Cleveland, OH) in Mar 2016
Interview
One phone interview with a recruiter, two in person interviews with the area sales manager and the regional sales manager and one ride along with one of the B2Bs. They were spaced out and took a lot of time. I didn't get to start working until about 6 weeks after being offered the job.
