      Sales Specialist Interview

      Accepted offer

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Keyence (Chicago, IL) in Jun 2015

      Interview

      4 parts of the process or should I say filters to weed out candidates. The first one was a Bennet test. That's for filtering out non-technical candidates. It tests basic concepts of physics. Review gears and pulleys. Also a bit of fluid and basic circuitry. No calculator required. The next step is the phone screening. They asked about background, why sales and why would you fit and what kind of jobs are you looking for in your job search. They filter here people that are either awkward on the phone or do not have the "skill" to do cold calling. The next step is the Hirevue web "interview". Asked stuff like why would you fit in sales and the questions below. They filter candidates here that do not know interview etiquette and do not show confidence or interviewing skill. The next step is the Caliper Personality test. They know what they want. They want a salesman kind of personality. And the final step is the on site interview. Here they ask you for a product demo, more behavioral questions and how would you act on a sale by doing a sale pitch with a pen or whatever they give you. Do all that and you might get a shot. Got to give it to them, they know what guy they want and at least with me they have been quick on the response and the step procedure.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      How do you see yourself in 5 years. What are your career goals? How did you worked around a difficulty in your career? What is your background and why do you think sales is a good fit? Name your 3 preferred working locations and why.

      I interviewed at Keyence (Pescara, Abruzzo)

      Interview

      Ho fatto due colloqui, il primo di gruppo per parlare della propria esperienza e con alcune domande per capire il carattere. Il secondo individuale sulla stessa onda del primo ma più specifico. Non sono stato ancora chiamato per il possibile terzo colloquio ma spero di essere richiamato

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through university. I interviewed at Keyence (Itala) in Apr 2026

      Interview

      Il colloquio è suddiviso in 4 colloqui dilazionati nel tempo. Nel primo colloquio si presenta l'azienda a un nutrito gruppo di candidati. Alla fine si formano dei piccoli gruppi in cui ognuno risponde ad alcune domande. Nel second colloquio conoscono meglio il candidato relativamente alla parte di aspirazioni personali e capacità relazionali. Ogni colloquio è preceduto da uno o più questionari.
