I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at ADP (Princeton, NJ)
Interview
Thorough and elongated process, took me about a month and 5 different steps to finally hear/accept the offer.
1. Email from recruiter to schedule a phone interview
2. Face to face interview with the VP of sales that you will be working under.
3. Face to face interviews with multiple Sales Executives who you will be working under.
4. Ride along with one of the District Managers.
5. Role Play / Job offer
The only difficult part for me was the role play. Being a recent college graduate and working nothing but "Summer" jobs my entire life, I had little sales experience which made the role play difficult. They just want to hear your ask a lot of open-ended questions and follow the agenda they give you. They want someone who is ambitious, hard-working with a proven work ethic, and most importantly someone who is coach-able.
Background check takes a while as well.

Give an example of a time when you were resilient.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at ADP (Tampa, FL) in Dec 2014
Interview
Interview process took 2 months of in person interviews and ride alongs - the ride along does not show you the REAL day in the life at ADP. They place you with a Senior, starting out at an associate position it gave me a false sense of what they company and job role was about.

Question 1
Explain one time you overcame failure that was not at work
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at ADP (Stamford, CT)
Interview
The guy who interviewed me was extremely rude, but you could tell he was doing it to get the most out of the interview. I went into the interview not entirely sure if I even wanted the job, which was a bad move on my part. The guy who interviewed me felt very strongly about hiring somebody who ONLY wanted to work in sales. He even tries to trick you into admitting that you'd be open to other opportunities (which I fell for). The best piece of advice is just to lie to the interviewers face, and say that your dream job is to work as a door to door salesman. Let's be real, it's nobodies dream to work as a door to door salesman.

Question 1
Would you rather be the best at your job and have everybody in the office hate you? Or be the second best at your job and have everybody in the office like you?
