I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Cintas (Rochester, NY) in Apr 2024
Interview
Pretty straightforward other than them requiring you to make a brag book/powerpoint. Without this “brag book”, highlighting your accomplishments, you cannot move forward in the interview process. Seemed silly to me.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Was more of a conversation, Sales manager is extremely nice.
It was long, but not difficult. It does become difficult to tell the same story over and over again, while trying to stay excited about it every time. I interviewed with the sales manager, all the way up to that sales Vice President
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Cintas (San Francisco, CA) in Aug 2024
Interview
I was initially reached out to on LinkedIn. This led to an in-person interview with the hiring manager, which unexpectedly included a second interview with a Sales VP. From there, I moved on to a ride-along that threw another surprise VP interview at me, which was... fine, I guess.
During the ride-along, they asked me to make phone calls for the company and told me to set a meeting within an hour. The whole thing was pretty interesting - there were no clear instructions on how involved they wanted me to be in the customer meeting. I don't think the prospect even knew I was coming. So I had two options: sit there awkwardly like a lump on a log or engage in conversation. I chose to engage in conversation, lol.
After all that? No feedback, no offer.
Oh, and they told me they would pay me for the field ride, but I know I'll never see that money. I didn't feel comfortable asking about it when the recruiter called to tell me I didn't get the offer.
Bottom line? This was a MASSIVE waste of time at a critical period in my job search.
