Tedious and old school is how I best described the process. First screening done by HR all pretty standard stuff. Second was face to face and thats when you start to feel that Jordan Belfort is about to make an appearance sadly without the private jet the hookers or the cocaine. The interview was a chat but not very engaging or interesting at that....its one of those interviews when you start thinking what you might be eating for diner that night or indeed what ever happened to that nice kid from your school all those years ago.....then we hit the discussion that one of their sales people is about to do a £1m year.....The next was a call with the Sales Director which was good and after that a very inclusive set of tests asking so many questions around Math, English etc. I found what was being asked of me to be so irrelevant to anything I have ever needed as a sales person I just thought why am I doing this. The next interview after that was literally a sell me this pen style of cold call. A mock scenario where you ring up and they pretend to the COO of a major IT company...I really could not believe this was actually being asked of me. No context or anything just ring me up and try and get a meeting...hence my Jordan Belfort comments above...start banging your chest and humming. The next interview after this was a face to face with the UK sales director.....

Long winded and twisting paths......a bmc interview story One day an account manager with a long and successful path embarked on a 7 interview process conducted with tactics that were extinguished years ago, along with cassette tapes and poll tax. you'll meet a number of people while not being impressed by any (but still interrogated almost to the point of rudeness). You'll be insulted (as they want to see how you react). You'll have to completed the merry champion dance and make sure you've spoken to everyone physically possible to prove you can get to the money. Don't forget to pass the psychometric test that is incorrectly analysed and done so by an internal recruiter that has no psychological studying background. You'll then have to do a final presentation which could be weeks apart from your previous stage. The time needed to interview is almost unreasonable as you have to impact your current place of work so much that it's hard to get the time for the next stage. If you take a call on a train they question your dedication to them. If you can't make the day they want then the same is asked. It's a bit too Glengarry Glenross
