Blue (Illinois) Interview Questions
& Process

The interview process was in three parts. The first interview was with the CEO, and it was pretty short. It was mostly to see if the company's goals matched my career goals. It was fun, the CEO was great, and I could tell right away they were successful and someone I'd look up to. The next interview was with one of their top reps. She explained the business well and answered all my questions! What was most interesting was the experience I'd get, even if I didn't make it to the top. Also, since I'm an athlete, the fact that it's 100% merit-based really caught my attention.

The interview process spanned two days, with scheduled attendance required at specific times. The first day involved an initial meeting with a manager who provided limited information about the role. Subsequently, the manager's secretary was supposed to call later that day at a precise time, but this did not happen. I had to initiate a follow-up call, and the secretary claimed to have attempted a call that went to voicemail without leaving a message. Despite this hiccup, I advanced to the second interview, which was a two-hour session. This second interview involved a comprehensive explanation of the job responsibilities. Similar to the first round, I was told I would receive a call the next day at a specific time, but this did not occur. I chose not to follow up this time, feeling the process was not indicative of a genuine opportunity.

I had a 1:1 interview the first day to see if I was a good fit. Then I was invited to Round 2 interviews, which included a ride-along with an Account Representative so I could see the daily tasks. After the ride-along, there was a third interview. An hour after that, I got a call with an offer and needed to respond right away. The employees seemed to get along well, with mandatory office social nights on Thursdays. The main role is door-to-door sales of AT&T's U-Verse packages using their "proven" sales "system", which involves misrepresenting themselves as Customer Service reps and mentioning "recent utility work in your area".

Got a quick reply to my application. A call came from HR/receptionist, and after a few questions, I had my interview the next day. They weren't flexible with scheduling, I had to adjust my schedule for them. I went to their office and filled out a standard info sheet. The receptionist, who also handles HR, was chatty but nice, even though I was trying to focus on the paperwork. I interviewed with the company president. He was friendly and asked typical interview questions. It was a short, preliminary interview, about 20-30 minutes. They said they'd call later that day to let me know if they wanted a second round interview.
