I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Pearson (El Paso, TX) in Aug 2016
Interview
applied online, phone interview next day. the interviewer didn't even give me a chance. I prepared for the interview ahead of time, he asked me twice what I liked about sales, as if my first answer wasn't sufficient enough. He cut me off midway through the 1st interview to say that he's decided to move on to other candidates and that maybe in the future i'll have more sales experience. These people don't care about whether or not you care about education; they only care about you being 100% a sales person.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
what do you like about sales? (asked me twice), a goal you have that you didn't achieve, what are qualities of a good sales representative? walk through your resume/job history a.k.a give a historical account of it.
The interview usually starts with a phone screening to discuss your experience and interest. Next, you may complete a sales assessment or case study to demonstrate your skills. This is often followed by one or more interviews, including behavioral questions and a role-play sales exercise. Finally, if selected, you’ll receive an offer.

took a few weeks. There was an initial phone interview, screener that was easy, then followed by a second interview with the regional manager and then finally a third interview with the CEO of the company
Three total interviews: Recruiter, Hiring Manager, Regional Manager. There was also a project as part of the interview. It was not that hard but other candidates were in the mix.
