About your past
Tell me about a time you had to keep a good attitude even though the work was physically tiring or repetitive.
What they are checking: stamina and emotional resilience for a job with repetitive lifting and long store visits
Tell me about a time you had to build a relationship with someone you didn't report to, like a store manager, to get something done.
What they are checking: relationship-building skill since the job depends on cooperation from store staff who aren't Mondelez employees
Tell me about a time you worked mostly on your own, without someone checking in on you throughout the day.
What they are checking: self-motivation and reliability without direct supervision
Describe a time you had to communicate a problem to your manager instead of trying to fix it yourself. How did you decide it needed to go up the chain?
What they are checking: judgment about when to escalate issues to the merchandising manager versus handling them directly
Tell me about a time you had to follow a detailed process or checklist exactly, like a set of steps for how a task should be done.
What they are checking: ability to follow the structured DSD Merchandising Steps consistently across many stores
What would you do
Walk me through what a typical day would look like for you, starting from when you leave home to visit your first store.
What they are checking: whether the candidate understands the self-directed, route-based nature of the job and can organize a multi-stop day without supervision
You show up to a store and the shelf space your sales rep negotiated with the manager has been given to a competitor. What do you do?
What they are checking: conflict handling and knowing when to escalate versus resolve something on the spot
This job requires lifting up to 25 pounds regularly and occasionally pushing or pulling over 50 pounds. Tell me about your experience with physical work like that.

If you noticed a Nabisco display was falling apart or looked messy in a store, but you were behind schedule for your other stops, what would you do?
What they are checking: prioritization between brand standards and route efficiency
How do you feel about a schedule that could include any day Monday through Saturday, starting at 8am?
What they are checking: schedule flexibility and honesty about availability constraints
About the work
Have you ever used a handheld device or tablet to place orders or track inventory? Tell me about that experience.
What they are checking: comfort with the iPad ordering system used for DSD merchandising
How would you decide how much product to order for a shelf or display if you're not sure what sold since your last visit?
What they are checking: basic inventory judgment and whether they'll guess or actually check stock levels and sales data
This route covers Joliet and Orland Park stores, and one location is a military base requiring a REAL ID or passport. Do you have a valid REAL ID, U.S. passport, or federal ID, and are you comfortable driving your own vehicle between multiple stores each day?
What they are checking: hard eligibility requirements around ID and personal vehicle use
