The process took 2 days. I interviewed at CDW (Chicago, IL) in Jan 2012
Interview
Pretty standard interview process for a sales position. Job entails making 85-100 cold calls a day. 100% inside sales. There is no physical person-to-person sales at all. Base Salary is $25,000 and 10% commission. Very nice people, but this was just not what I was looking for.

Question 1
Give a detailed example of a time your previous employer disagreed with your idea? Why? What did you do?
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at CDW
Interview
Very fast process. A recruiter reached out to me and we had a phone interview a few days later. The recruiter was very friendly and asks questions to get to know you and also gave information about the position. After that a one on one interview is scheduled that it is way more thorough. Do your homework because the questions are very specific and be prepared for "what would you do in this situation" type of questions. I took the time to prepare and it went very well. Sales manager was super friendly!
I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at CDW (Chicago, IL) in Jan 2017
Interview
I applied online and passed 20 minute assessment test online. The very next day I was contacted by the Recruiter of CDW and we scheduled a phone interview for the next day. The phone interview lasted about 40 minutes and included standard behavioral questions. The Recruiter with the name Dione was polite and helpful at certain moments. Although I was not invited for the in-person interview, the overall experience was very useful for my future employment search.
