      Americas Laision Office Merchandiser Interview

      Mar 17, 2016
      Anonymous employee
      Richmond, CA
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Columbia Sportswear (Richmond, CA) in Jan 2012

      Interview

      I submitted resume through a friend that worked there. HR called me to ask about setting up a phone screen. Phone screen was pretty basic, asking about my background, relevant experience and why I was qualified for the job. HR got back to me a week or two later to schedule an in-person interview. The in-person was with the middle and senior manager. I met with both of them in 1 meeting. I think I also met briefly with the team I would be working with, just so they could get a feel for my personality. Senior manager verified that I spoke Spanish by speaking to me in Spanish. They had technical and standard questions. I went in prepared and did just fine, got the offer. Later they told me there was someone else more qualified but they seemed boring. Evidently I gave a 'fun' vibe in the interview as well.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      How do you negotiate pricing with vendors. How do you get detailed breakdown of pricing?
