      Inside Sales Representative Interview

      Apr 2, 2016
      Anonymous employee
      Columbus, OH
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Pearson (Columbus, OH) in Oct 2013

      Interview

      Long. You interview with several different individuals over a long period of time. Luckily (and annoyingly) they all ask you the same questions. The interviewers where all very pleasant, however. My interviews took place in a hotel conference room, which did make me a little wary of the validity of the process.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Sell me this pen. Prevention this Digital initiative to me (you get homework to learn about the project and then come back for a second interview to present)

      Inside Sales Representative Interview

      May 17, 2016
      Anonymous employee
      Columbus, OH
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Pearson (Columbus, OH) in Dec 2013

      Interview

      I applied online which took about a week to hear back. You have a phone screen or initial interview, follow up interview that a project must be complete before. A pretty basic interviewing process . I met the two managers at a hotel to discuss my background and what i was looking for in my career and what they were looking for to fill their opening. They may have you reach out to professor and a bookstore on campus as many of your calls and relationships will be based of your ability to do well interacting with both. It also would be a good way to see how Pearson is viewed in the areas you would be covering if it is a geographical territory or you already know that prior to the project.
