Interview
The interview process starts at your college or university. The interviewer will ask you several questions about the company and the specific job you are interviewing for. In the first step of the interview process you want to make sure you are on board with everything the job may include: travel, long hours, etc. Parker is only looking for candidates who are willing to play ball, no mavericks in this first interview. The second interview is a brief phone conversation from, most likely the division that is willing to take you aboard, and a request for a final interview at corporate in Cleveland. Make sure you bring your a game to this interview because you are going to be interviewed by some top dogs. That being said don't be scary, it is more of a personality test. They want to see you interact with people and see how you think on your feet. These interviews are panel interviews with all the prospecting divisions. Each group will ask you why you are best suited for there group and the general 21 questions game. Come prepared and this full day of interviews won't be that bad. The results of my interview came in less than 48 hours. You will be notified promptly, if you made it or not.
