TELUS Sales Associate Interview Questions
& Process

It was a really easy interview. They went over the job duties, the pay structure, and how the commission works in great detail. They were super upfront about everything. They explained what the job would be like, the minimum guaranteed hours per week, how much commission you would make, and the whole system for wages and commission.

I put in an application online and they emailed me back in a few days asking me to come in for an interview. The interview was about 20-30 minutes long, and they told me I'd hear back the next day. The next day they called and said they hired two people who had more experience. It was weird because how are people supposed to get experience if they don't get hired. They said they liked me and my answers, and that they'd keep my resume for future openings, but I shouldn't get my hopes up because they hire based on experience.

Applied and then got a call the next day about an interview. The application process was relatively fast. I had to go through two interviews and it definitely didn't fit the job title and description that I applied for. The sales associate position mostly seemed like it would be for the in store retail environment but they told me it would be trade shows, events, door to door and so on which I was uncomfortable with. It seemed sketchy because it didn't feel like I really earned the job as they were more of trying to sell the job to me. What I thought would be a sales associate turned out to be a junior marketing consultant which felt like a lot more work than I intended for. And the hours were crazy as it required you to work full time with 9-6 shifts mon-fri and 12-8 on Saturdays. The pay would be good but it just wasn't what I was looking for as they kept talking about manager positions and how to get promoted in the company trying to sell this job to me.
