The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Sherwin-Williams in Mar 2012
Interview
There was initial contact through e-mail acknowledging my application. Next there was a Phone interview approx. 30 min. Then a few days later ane-mail of questions about sales strategy and 90 day sales plan. Finally a face to face interview by the hiring manager. The whole process took about a week. I was beat out by a candidate with prior store manager and sales rep experience.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Provide a 90 day sales plan if you get the territory
A multi stage hiring process, very basic behavioural questions. First round starts with your sales manager; second round with the District Sales Manager, and then a panel interview with VP of sales & HR. I also had to prepare a territory plan and present it to my sales manager.

Question 1
Where do you see yourself in 5 years? What’s your leadership style? How do you approach sales?
The interview was intercompany and was conducted via teams. Didnt feel like it mattered as the decision was made prior to the interview. Afterwords it took a while to get the response back I was looking for.

I applied online. I interviewed at Sherwin-Williams (Toronto, ON) in Feb 2023
Interview
The interview was formal. I found the questions to be quite standard: Tell us about yourself, what interests you in this position? What are your strengths and weaknesses? Provide examples of a conflict you experienced in the workplace and how you resolved it.
