I have ping pong balls that I want to ship across the ocean in a freight ship. How many can you fit?

- What is the shape of the ping pong balls? The shape of a ball is a ball, man =) It's better if you find the answers by yourself on this questions. The key element they want to know is how can you think and look for the answers in the world around you. You should better predict all measurable values, than ask about them Less

I did not find any of the questions difficult, however there was a lot of focus on the fact that I had children. The recruiter even said that this was a worry for them as it could mean I'm not able to fully commit (this almost made me turn down the job offer).

I'm sorry to hear that the interview process with the recruiter in 2016 focused on the fact you had children. We have a number of our colleagues who have children and we actively encourage and promote a work/life balance. I trust you have had a positive experience since you have been with us and that any initial concerns you may have had have not borne fruit. Less

I have a former employer who worked at your company, they where awesome and said great things about your company why do you want to leave? Why did you move here or there? Why did you study x instead of y? Why did you study at D instead A? Why have you not been promoted to a higher position at your current employer? Why are you interested in sales?

- I am a listener more than a speaker, and I work on this by having active participation in discussions. - Sales can be an emotional roller coaster. To get through, I hold myself accountable for all success and failures throughout the day/ week. After reflection, I am able to move accordingly the next time around. Less
