The interview process felt drawn out just to get an interview, and it ended up being a total waste of my time. They informed me at the end that they had already picked someone internally. I'm not sure if they interviewed me because they had to interview outside candidates.

The Market Sales Manager reached out to me directly through email after finding my resume on a public job board. Because the role was local, we had an in-person interview. When I got there, it was obvious I wasn't the only one scheduled for that day. The interview itself went okay, though the interviewer seemed bored and uninterested. On the bright side, it became clear pretty quickly that it wasn't a good fit, so not a lot of time was wasted.

- Could you tell me about something difficult you've strived for and accomplished?
