First, an HR interview to discuss my profile and experience. Then, a second interview with the regional director about my motivations and past performance. Finally, a validation interview with the sales director to confirm the regional director's choice.

Had an online interview that lasted about 30 minutes. It included some general sales competency questions and a lot of questions specifically about the healthcare industry. They gave feedback that I didn't have experience in medical sales, even though this was clear from my CV and previous conversations. It felt like a waste of everyone's time.

The whole thing took about two months. First, I had 2 calls with a recruiter, then a call with the hiring manager. After that, I had 2 more meetings with the hiring manager, the regional sales mgr, and an executive from the home office. Then I had to do a personality test and 3 peer interviews. This was followed by a video interview with the VP of Sales. I had a final interview scheduled with the VP of the Skin and Wound Care Division, but the day before the meeting, they cancelled it and told me I wasn't being considered anymore. They gave a really vague reason for cancelling so late.
