Behavioral Technical Presentation
Started with a video interview with some basic questions about how you think and handle situations. If selected, there was a 1 on 1 meeting, then meeting with managers. It seemed like a typical sales interview, so be ready to take charge and do in-depth work.

Behavioral Technical
There were 3 interviews in total. First, a quick 10-minute phone call with a recruiter to see if it was a good match. Second, a 30-45 minute phone interview with the recruiter where they asked about what CDW is and does, along with situational, behavioral, and hypothetical questions. Third, a 45 minute to 1 hour in-person interview with the hiring manager who asked more situational, behavioral, and hypothetical questions. The process was very well organized and detailed.
