Fess up. What did you do to secretly undermine the person who got the job? Whatever it was, good job.

Thanks. It should turn out real good. I hear great things about the owner and he is a genuine nice guy. He is somebody that you really want to do well for and do the best I can. He gives out Christmas bonus every year by what he thinks you deserve so that is pretty cool. After my training I will be out on my own so I don't have to worry about anybody else but my job and I like that. |

What is it for? I have a BA and currently work as a marketing consultant. I am considering a switch to sales simply for the money. Does anyone have an MBA here? If so, was/is it worth it? |

Thanks, but the process is just beginning. This will be the first time I've had to interview for something that wasn't an internship or a pyramid scheme.

What kind of sales? Odds are MBA will not do you much good. In fact, some employers will shitcan your resume because you're overqualified. JMO. Feel free to pm me specific questions.

Doubt it would be useful for sales though (as mentioned above).

I'm still kind of in shock I got the call yesterday.
I'd applied for the job after seeing it on CareerBuilder or wherever the hell the opening got posted about a month after it was first listed on the company's internal website. I was asked to take a personality survey a week-ish after applying, completed survey and never heard anything. Followed up roughly a week after the survey then waited until I got the rejection email 6 weeks later. About a month after that I got a tip that the company was hiring for that position again, so I re-accessed my login info with the company and applied again with a tweaked resume and cover letter. Waited for two weeks and debated against sending a follow-up email reasoning the fact I'd applied for the job previously showed enough interest. Then I got the call yesterday after 4:00pm. Opted for an early interview time because I'm going to Arrowhead Monday afternoon and I wouldn't be back in the afternoon Tuesday.. or likely be in the best sorts for an interview.
