I applied in-person. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at PPG (Boston, MA) in Jul 2009
Interview
Interview process was relatively painless. Since this position was an outside role, I had the opportunity to meet with the local area managers to discuss job details and expectations in person.
Response time was adequate and I was able to begin the job within 1 week of the final interview (two interviews total).
You are required to take a personality test as well as pass background and drug screening.
As a note, it definitely helps to have someone you know already employed with PPG.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
None. Interview process was very easy. Just be prepared and look professional like any other interview.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at PPG (Houston, TX)
Interview
Very easy interview process. I came from SW so I had a head up above everyone. They asked me company info and since I did my homework I impressed the manager. They now require a group interview. Unlike SW they want more sales people. You can be effective at this company without really having industry experience as long as you can sell and close deals
