I applied online. I interviewed at Sysco (Calgary, AB)
Interview
First interview, phone interview: Basic why do you want to work here/why should we hire you. Asked about recent sales experience and how that would apply to the position. Salary expectations, etc. general questions.
2nd interview. Back to back interview with three interviewers. All of them asked the same question, just worded differently. questions included.
- tell me a time you made the most memorable sale
- tell me a time you had to adapt to change. provide examples of a change that you adapted to easier and another time that was more difficult
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Unexpected: tell me a time when you worked long and hard for a sale and never made a transaction
It went well. Nice people. They were interested in my interest in food sales and my desire to work hard. I met with three different people. They seem to want to build a strong team.
The interview process was very long and fairly disorganized. First, there is a phone interview, then I was invited to a hotel for in-person interviews. After a few weeks, I was asked to come to the ofiices for another interview.
I was interviewed by 3 different people in a round robin process. Each interview was private and then I would move on the next person for the interview. All interviewers were polite and nice.
