Sales Representative at Progressive Business Publications
Accepted Offer – Interviewed on Altoona, PA (US) Jun 2012 – Reviewed Sep 12, 2012
Interview Details Saw an ad in the paper asking for outgoing people who were able to communicate well with others. Part of the ad that was appealing to myself was that I could make my own schedule, with no nights or weekends, and I could earn $12/hr within the first month. I called and was immediately granted an interview for the next day and was hired upon completing the interview and started the next week.
Interview Question – How do you deal with constant rejection? Answer Question

No Offer – Reviewed Jul 31, 2012
Interview Details First, you talk with a recruiter about basic information. Then he/she will take u to a meeting room to do a test, including verb, logic and math problems. After this you are going to meet with the people from accounting department. They will ask u some accounting related questions but it's pretty easy.

Entry Level Marketing at Progressive Business Publications
Accepted Offer – Interviewed on Malvern, PA (US) Feb 2009 – Reviewed Dec 29, 2011
Interview Details I was so white-knuckled going into the interviews that it's a little hard to recall specifics. They cut me some slack for the nervousness but kept calling me back for additional interviews when there was nothing new to say. I got the impression that they really didn't have the expertise to evaluate my skills.
Interview Question – Do you have any questions about PBP? View Answer
Negotiation Details – I lowballed myself on the salary requirements part of their application. When I tried to negotiate up, the HR Manager told me that if I requested a higher salary, he would rescind the job offer. I later learned that others at my level received similar salaries, so I was not that bad off, relatively speaking.

Sales Representative at Progressive Business Publications
Accepted Offer – Interviewed on Malvern, PA (US) Sep 2009 – Reviewed Jun 23, 2011
Interview Details It was very unprofessional in nature. I was asked my age right out of the gate which really took me by surprise to be quite honest. i was also asked whether or not i was married and had children to "check if i was eligable for their benefit plan"? the conference room in which i was interviewed had various board games laying around and was just a mess. The people were not very friendly at all and seemed as if they really didnt want to be there.
Negotiation Details – i was unable to negotiate my pay. i was told what my pay would be.
