I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Soplacas (Palheiros da Tocha) in Dec 2010
Interview
Commercial/Expansion Manager aplication, submited through an internet add. About three weeks after i apllied, i got a call asking for us to meet in one of their offices, where i´ve met with the CEO and another person from the commercial department. The meeting lasted for almost an hour, and in the end i´ve been told that they had other persons to interview, but i´d hear from them again.
A couple of weeks later i´ve contaced again, asking to attend to another meeting, this time in Lisbon, to which i was considering not to go, since i lived in Porto and it? more than 300km away, but, at the end, i´ve decided to give it a shot.
In this meeting i´ve met with the whole board (3 persons), and the conversation lasted for almost 2 hours. At the end, they´ve told me that the decison would me made in a week time, and that at that moment only two candidates were running for the position, and i was one of them.
They´ve finally contacted me after 8 or 9 days, saying that i was in a better position to get the job and asked me about my expectations regarding the conditions (salary, benefits, etc).
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The most difficult question was not rellated to business, was more of a personal one. They´ve asked me, if i could be someone else for one day, anyone at all, i would that be?
