It was pretty easy. They looked at my resume and asked me to talk about my lawn care experience. Then we discussed my strengths and weaknesses, and why I was interested in working there. They also asked if I had a general use pesticide license.

Behavioral Presentation
This is an interesting process. Often times candidates have an insider track, or their educational pedigree ranks them. Candidates learn of potential career tracks. Then, upon arriving, they learn that those are not options or must be earned through years of service.

It's a face-to-face interview after which, if hired, you'll have to take a bunch of tests to get certified. The first tests are modules you need to finish before you can drive the company truck. Then, you'll take a test through the state to become a certified pesticide applicator. While you're taking these tests, they'll have you shadow some experienced TSRs out in the field. After you've been shown the proper techniques and you're certified, they'll let you go out into the field by yourself.

It was a super thorough process, they actually flew me out to Ohio. There were three parts to it before I got the offer. I talked to three regional managers and the head of sales. The whole thing took about four hours. Even though I got the job, it took three whole months to hear back. Plus, they gave me hardly any notice to move, so I had to find a place and relocate in just a couple of weeks.
