      Account Executive Interview

      25 Apr 2013
      Anonymous employee
      San Francisco, CA
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Yelp (San Francisco, CA) in Apr 2013

      Interview

      I applied online and got an email from a recruiter a couple days later to set up a phone screening. The call was two days later and lasted about 15 minutes. Be prepared to know what Yelp is, why you want to work there, and what you will be selling. At the end of the phone call the recruiter was impressed and told me I was moving to the next round. The following week I went in to the office and had 3 interviews with either sales managers or recruiters. Each interview was about 20 minutes and was fairly easy if you're prepared. 1st interview you will role play with a business owner and your goal is to set up an appointment to talk about yelp advertising. 2nd interview you will role play again, but this time you have the appointment and you are actually trying to sell the product. This is where you ask the owner questions to dig in on their needs and how yelp advertising will help them. Be sure to practice this part. 3rd interview you will role play again, but you will sell a product of your choice. Besides the role play all the other questions were standard. (why sales, why yelp, going over your resume) Got a call the next day asking to perform a background check and got a call two days later with a job offer. Entire hiring process took only 2 weeks or so.
