Question 1
Give me an example of your opening cold call pitch for our services?
The draw of the job is to work under two "experienced" key account directors, one is under 35, other 36ish wore jeans and a t shirt. There is no receptionist, had to call HR to be allowed in the building. They were late. I saw previously here about a good cop, bad cop routine, those people were not joking. One of the interviewers was a cool guy, wouldn't have minded working under him, just seemed a bit too young to advertise working with him as the main benefit of the job. The other plumber wearing jeans and a t shirt, where do i start. He was instantly rude, instantly dismissive, tried to demean my previous experience. I've never experienced an interview like that. 10 minutes after I left I emailed HR asking to be removed from consideration. Pretty sure the pay is minimum wage even though HR quoted 25k base in an email. (Got a job 2 days after 28k base + benefits 3 hours after an interview :D, just to give you an idea of the caliber of candidate that was disrespected here)
Read all the bad reviews here. Those are the real ones.

Question 1
Your last job was very easy. Why wasn't the target 20 times what it was? (maybe he was experiencing a medical emergency to have accidentally asked that)
I applied through other source. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at GlobalData (New York, NY)
Interview
Interviewed by the one of the upper managers. He was a rude, arrogant, disrespectful person. He stalked everyone from my former company to have them come in to the office for an interview. He began to talk about my former colleagues. Extremely unprofessional. I wish I read the reviews on glassdoor before accepting the role. It needs a lot of cleaning up
