      Sales Representative Interview

      Apr 19, 2010
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Folsom, CA
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Paychex (Folsom, CA) in Aug 2008

      Interview

      I had a one on one interview with the sales manager. He came out about 20-30 minutes late and apologized that his meeting went over. This might have been a test to see how patient I am and how I respond to someone coming in late for a meeting. The interview was more like a conversation, so it went well. I did get offered to comeback for the "Caliber" test which was a combination of math skills and a personality test to see if this type of job would be a good fit for me and Paychex. The women at the front desk were very nice and friendly toward me. They seem to have known each other very well, since they were talking about their social lives when the phones didn't ring and nobody else was walking through the door. I came back4 or 5 days later to take the exam. If you are good at money math, you shouldn't have any problems with that part of the test. The test then ask personality questions. An example would be: You have to hurt someones feelings when giving them criticism. They question may have been phrased a little different. I suggest you answer all of the questions as truthful as possible. The answer they may be looking for would be yes, in my opinion. They are looking for a "warrior" type personality with thick skin. Other questions asked pertain to gregariousness, preferences speaking to larger or smaller groups/one-on-one, and so forth.

      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through other source. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Paychex

      Interview

      Had an HR screening, then I had an interview with 2 Managers which went great, and a final round interview with the Senior District Sales Manager. I emailed the Senior Manager to schedule time for the final round but he liked to act like he was all busy and important, after about an hour of no response I sent him another email asking if he had a time in mind and responded within a minute. The Senior Manager had this inflated sense of worth that apparently he's too high up there to bother responding within an hour to an initial email if it's not convenient for him. Following the final interview, I received the standard rejection email and asked for feedback from the Senior Manager on what I could've done better. Never received a response; like I said before, his inflated sense of worth makes him think it's ok to not answer a basic request.
