Question 1
When was a time that you were given a last minute problem that if not solved quickly would have resulted in the loss of a sale, but you overcame it and closed the deal.
I applied in-person. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Klingspor (Los Angeles, CA) in Sept 2017
Interview
Coffee shop meetings. The coffee shop interviews were awkward, and not very professional. I should have payed attention to the first hints that this wasn’t a very professional organization.
It was odd to say the least. Was done at Starbucks then over the phone. I felt they were friendly but also acting as if I may or may not fit. This being apprentice styled against other candidates is typical but grated on my nerves due to the lengthy process
