And I can tell you as someone in sales, I do not care what actual sales you do if my company has a different product or has different customer service goals. I am going to train you anyway and want to know if you are mostly teachable and have appropriate goals.

I was just using those as examples. I would hope that there would be enough "proof" of successful experience in the resume that I would not need to ask. I prefer to have I candidate expand upon what they have done. For me, there is a difference between 10 years of management experience and 10 years progressively increasing profitability as a manager. I want to see accomplishments on a resume, not general skills or time spent in a position.

As I said before, this must be really job specific. I have never been asked that deep about a previous job. Usually all I have been asked is to confirm if I worked at a particular place or asked if I had that background. I usually get asked about my officiating and asked if I ever worked their high school or the school their kids go to. It usually takes over the conversation or interview.
