Candidate-reported interview process

The interview process was pretty simple. I sent in my resume and got a call from HR about a week later. She asked some basic questions and set up a phone interview with a District Sales Manager for the next week. The phone interview started late because the District Manager was delayed, and he apologized for calling 20 minutes late. He asked typical questions about handling objections, closing, and managing a sales territory.

The job was open for a while. I applied and got a response within about two weeks. First, I had a phone call with the hiring manager. Then, about a month later, I went in for an onsite interview where I met with several people individually, and also the hiring manager again. It took another couple of months, and then I got an automated email saying they weren't moving forward with my application, but thanked me for interviewing.

Saw the job on the website and got a call from someone in North Carolina. It was a quick intro call. Then they set up an in-person meeting with the hiring manager.
