Marketing on 6th Interview Questions
& Process

Had three interviews. The first was with the hiring manager, who asked about my resume, my skills, and what I knew about the company. The second interview was with the manager, and we went to visit a client. The 'client' was on the street corner, approaching people and asking for personal info like insurance, social security, and driver's license to give them a government phone. People weren't freely giving that information, and not everyone could get a phone because of higher income or already having one. There was no time for lunch or even a chair, it was just on the street. The manager said he needed to see if I could work hard, which I figured was just a test. Back at the office, the hiring manager asked what I thought about the job: giving 100 phones in 2 weeks, then 500 per week, with help available later, and a chance to become a manager in 3 months. They work from 8:30 am to around 8 pm, with long hours, making $10 per phone.

I met with the CEO, Colm, in a rundown basement office in Berkeley. The interview was short and to the point. Although he described the role as more sales-oriented than administrative, I initially thought it might be a part of the job. He offered me the position on the spot, and I was supposed to start the next day to meet the team. He said he'd email the details that evening, but he didn't. Later, the initial HR contact left a voicemail inviting me for a second interview. I was confused, but it became clear it was a commission-based sales role, which wasn't what I was looking for.

The interview process was pretty straightforward. First, there was a quick 15-20 minute chat that felt more like a conversation. They asked about my personal aspirations, my motivation for applying, and even a bit about my family. Following that, I was invited for a second interview which involved a 2-hour hands-on preview of the day-to-day tasks. I really enjoyed that part and found it easy to grasp. Based on how I did during those two hours, I was extended a job offer, which I was thrilled to accept.

It was a two round interview process, and the hiring manager was super friendly. I checked in at the front desk, and the first interview was about 20 minutes. The second interview was longer, about 1-2 hours, where I got to experience what a day in the life would be like. This part was with the recruiting/HR team. I'm pretty new to this field, and they were really nice and helpful. I actually liked the second interview a lot! They called me the same day and offered me the job.
