Account Executive at University Directories

Declined Offer – Interviewed in Charlottesville, VA (US) Feb 2013 – Reviewed Apr 14, 2013

Interview Details The interview was pretty standard. The interviewer asked me about things on my resume, especially my internship from last summer. She also asked what about me will other people criticize and praise for. Then she did a mock sale with me about my favorite restaurant around campus. What I need to do was trying to sell an advertisement spot to that restaurant.

Interview Question – Nothing really unexpected. The questions were all pretty straightforward. However, you do need to be very energetic and enthusiastic.   Answer Question

Outside Sales Representative at University Directories

Accepted Offer – Interviewed on Grand Rapids, MI (US) Mar 2013 – Reviewed Mar 22, 2013

Interview Details Initially met at a career fair. The lady was very nice and concerned about dedication because it is a tough internship. Had to fill out a sales assessment before my interview. I think they will ask you to give a sales pitch for their pamphlet. I wasn't asked I think because they said I did really well on the assessment. Otherwise standard questions like why are you interested, what are your goals for this position, strengths, weaknesses.
