Behavioral

A recruiter reached out to me on LinkedIn and was super friendly and helpful throughout the whole process. They did the first phone screen and then scheduled me for an in-person interview. The office visit was really laid back. I had a casual chat with an on-site recruiter before meeting with an Account Manager. Both chats were very relaxed and conversational.

Behavioral Technical

Got referred to Echo by a friend of an employee. Applied online and was immediately asked to set up a phone interview. After passing the initial phone screening, I was informed that the VP of Sales was in town from Chicago and they wanted me to schedule a time to come in. After meeting with him and going over my experience, I received a call from him on his personal phone, asked me why I would want this position if my background was more "Analytical." I responded questioning his career path, since he was a German major (Ballsy at the time)? After allowing him to answer the question, I said that I was interested in a career change and if he gave me a shot, I would be able to bring my analytical skills to a table, providing a cross-functional approach to a career in Logistic and Logistic Sales. At the time, it was the midst of the Great Recession and jobs were scarce so I was open for anything.

Behavioral Technical Presentation

It started with a quick phone chat, maybe 10-15 minutes. Then I had an in-person interview with the same recruiter. That same day, I also did about 30 minutes of job shadowing and then talked with a manager. After all that, they gave me an offer letter to start the training program. There wasn't a drug test, but there was a background check.

Confirmed questions2 questions
  • The manager asked, "Why should I hire you?"
  • The manager asked, "Why should I take that risk?"
