      Generalist Interview

      Apr 19, 2011
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Declined offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at McMaster-Carr in Apr 2011

      Interview

      An HR representative contacted me, stating that she found my resume online and would like to speak with me about some type of marketing opportunity. The information seemed kind of vague, but I scheduled a time for a phone interview with her. When I asked about next steps, she told me she would like to bring me in to interview in-person. When I was there, the job was explained to me more thoroughly; it's inside sales (people call in and you fill out sales orders, trying to up-sell and answer questions). I had three one-on-one interviews with various managers, nothing too crazy. About a week later, I was called and McMaster-Carr wanted to extend me an offer. The caveat was that it wasn't the job I originally applied for, but a similar entry-level role that didn't seem particularly challenging or exciting.
