71,201 sales representative interview questions shared by candidates

This was a complete joke. I was invited to take an assessment for "sales" but among other non related questions, I was given a "Bookkeeping" test from 1981. No joke, it was a Williams Hankins full charge bookeeper test dated 1981. The questions were geared for a seasoned bookkeeper or someone with a strong financial background. It felt like a complete bait and switch. The questions had absolutely nothing to do with sales or a sales process or cycle. A CPA would probably pass the test but a CPA wouldn't be applying for a sales position. Seemed like a company that played a ton of games and I felt that was a reflection of how they would treat their employees. Hard pass for me.
