      Sales Associate Interview

      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Element Events (Manchester, England) in Jan 2020

      Interview

      During the interview process you are told you will earn £250 p/w no matter how many sales you make (you need 3 or 4 a day depending on the type of sale to reach close to £250 over 5 working days). This basic pay is codified NOWHERE in the contract (which you are given no time to fully read as you and other newbies are herded into a room and asked to quickly sign some documents via a link sent to your phone), and the contract also states that "no promises made by the company/interviewers either in writing or spoken are guaranteed by the company" (paraphrased). Therefore this mythical £250 p/w is just that; a myth or, more accurately, a lie. I worked there for 2 weeks and have, as of this moment, have not even been paid the commission I earned when working at Element Events. - The second interview, the "field" interview, is absolutely shambolic. Mine, for example, was run by the guy who became my leader. A young lad who is nice enough, but sadly buys into this pyramid scheme completely. In the field interview (I was lucky enough to be driven to the field and so incurred no cost, but I've seen people being interviewed in the field forced to pay for a £15 train ticket from Manchester to Stoke just to partake in the interview), you are sat down in a cafe or some such not far from the event being run by whoever's interviewing you. You are set generic tasks ("where do you see yourself in 5 years?" etc) and periodically checked on. After running through the tasks and some information about the job (nothing too specific of course), you are told that you have to make it back to office on your own for the final stage of the interview and must scamper away.

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Element Events (Champaign, IL)

      Interview

      The interview was four minutes of nonsense with a young man who said he was the owner and never once made eye contact. Held in a cramped room with plastic, preschool-like furniture.
