Altria Sales Representative interviews, decoded.

It's super in-depth and takes about an hour, so come prepared. The people are nice, the pay is good, and they really like college grads. You also get to travel. The questions go beyond the typical "who are you" type; they want to know what you would do.

It started with a quick phone chat, then I had an interview on campus with the Market Manager. They asked me some behavioral questions. My second interview was with a panel of 2-3 people and we did a sales scenario role play. I got about 10 minutes to get ready for the role play after they gave me the scenario. I got a call that same day with a verbal offer. They also talked about how comfortable I am with the industry, like it was a big thing.

I went through a HireVue, then a panel with two women, which was great because that's rare. After that, there was a brand-audit process. I'd recommend prepping for the panel interview, as they do have a preferred way of answering questions.
