How would you determine how many used car dealerships there are in the US?
I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Forrester (Cambridge, MA) in Jun 2015
Interview
This position was to support the consultants working with Channel Strategy Professionals. I was contacted to arrange a phone interview a day after submitting my resume and cover letter on LinkedIn. However, during our conversation, it was clear the HR associate hadn't taken the time to read my resume, and that the job description on the site did not specify all their requirements (they wanted someone with at least 3 years of experience working in channel strategy roles, which I did not have). The conversation was easy and friendly, but I felt like I wasted my time applying and even lightly prepping for the interview.
