It was a quick process with a couple of interviews. They asked about me, my experience, and what I can bring to the company. It was simple and direct, not like other places.

Behavioral
I went for an interview for the IT Engineer Apprentice position in the spring. They liked my resume and I had an interview with HR, but unfortunately, I didn't get selected to move on. Since I don't have a ton of work experience and I'm pretty new to interviews, I was really nervous. The interviewer was really nice though, and sent me a couple of long emails afterwards with feedback on how I did, some certifications I should look into, and general advice for future interviews, plus some encouraging words. I was grateful for the chance to interview and I'm hoping to apply again next spring. This is a pretty unique program that Cerium offers, and it seems like a great way for people to get into the tech industry.

Behavioral Case Presentation
I spoke with 5 people through calls or in-person meetings, including three trips to their office. They've experienced a lot of turnover and have been disappointed in the past. Their hiring process is disorganized and they can't make a decision. The VP said it was his decision, but then deferred to the President, who he seemed afraid of. I got frustrated because I'm here to drive revenue, not keep jumping through hoops or dealing with their flawed hiring process. It didn't seem like a company I'd want to work for, so I withdrew.
Confirmed questions1 question
- Sales fundamentals: How would you acquire new clients?
