Interview Preparation Tips

Topics to prepare for Salesforce Key Accounts Executive interview:
  • Salesforce CRM
  • Sales cloud
  • Service Cloud
  • Trailhead
Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - While I had to go through just 3 rounds of one on one virtual interviews, thats not the process that Salesforce generally follows while interviewing the candidates for sales role.

There are around 4-5 and in some cases 7 rounds of interviews which includes a case study or a presentation.

They take around a month to let you know if you are in.

Even after being interviewed for all the rounds in the same day and the HR verbally informing me in the evening of my selection, they took around 1.5 months to release the offer.
