Philips Sales Representative Interview Questions
& Process

We're hiring for a sales role, specifically a product specialist within the sales department. The role involves understanding the after-sales department, overall company sales, and company sales in general. You'll also be involved in product training and discussing the company's projection for future plans. The goal is to secure sales and understand how to handle repeating customers and retain relationships with clients.

Team members will get a sense of contribution, skills and personality during a job seeker’s presentation. However, you will need to make sure to be specific about the presentation topic to the candidate, and also determine objectives for evaluation of the presenter with the team. And don’t forget to solicit feedback via a scorecard or a post-panel debrief. Before adding additional layers to interviews, it’s important for employers to assure that each new screen actually helps identify great candidates, and doesn’t just make interviews harder without any offsetting benefit.

First, I had a recruiter call, then a phone interview with the hiring manager, followed by an in-person meeting with the hiring manager, and finally an interview with their manager. After all that, there was a long wait of 6 to 8 weeks, and then they told me they had chosen another candidate who better fit their criteria for the week.
