CDW interview questions

Tested skills through simulation

I worked for CDW for 3 years after MicroWarehouse was acquired in 2003. I was told I would be eligible to work for the company again but recently had a disappointing experience. See below! Having interviewed with a few companies already has allowed me to understand better the outcome for good or bad interviews. In the case of CDW, I can only say that the company’s new recruiting procedures are very disappointing. One of the things I didn’t understand is why would the company ask you to provide supplemental data when the main issue seemed to be eligibility to be able to work back for the company or that the pool of other applicants was just a better fit? I feel you should have looked into this first before jumping into conclusions. During the interview process I noticed that I was asked questions that perhaps were not relevant to my experience. Perhaps it was done that way because based on the base salary paid the position is indeed Entry Level. During our interview you had asked me how did I hear about the position without realizing that you were the one that contacted me based on my Monster profile and not the other way around. You also asked whether I was ok with the base salary that was discussed previously when in fact we never talked about it. Granted, I wasn’t satisfied with the $25,000 base salary, but figured I would give it a try in the hopes of being able to grow internally.
