Paychex interview questions

The interview starts with a timed math test. The test questions are ticky weird questions like: Two men went fishing and caught 50 fish. Man one caught twice as many as man two. How many fish did man two catch? -- Odd questions like that. Next you sit in an interview with probably two people and they only ask sales questions. The questions are like 'what would your manager say are your 3 best sales qualities' or what makes you a strong salesperson. I found the interview to be very impersonal and the interviewers were very dry and uninteresting. The job description they gave me was that I'd be making 100 cold calls per day to local businesses to offer them payroll. From those calls they ask that I have at least 50 presentations. Of those 50, 10 of them need to be closing presentations, of those 10, 2 of them need to buy the product. If you get past the first interview, you should expect to have at least two more and a ride along with one of the sales reps to see if you'd be interested in what they do.

Interviewing at Paychex is a multi-step process. First interview was a phone call with an internal recruiter. Reviewed work history, job expectations. Second interview was with manager. Reviewed work history all the way back to summer jobs during college. Third interview was with zone manager and manager.
