I applied for an Account Executive position at apartments dot com in Seattle, WA. The recruiter asked me where I live, and when I said I was in the Seattle area, they asked if I would be willing to relocate. They mentioned they were looking for someone who lives in Olympia, and that I'd be ineligible unless I relocated. My application was then marked withdrawn in their system, even though the role is still posted in Seattle, which is quite odd.

Behavioral Presentation
I was first reached out to by an internal recruiter via LinkedIn. Normally, I don't entertain interview requests this way unless it's in the medical device field, but the potential salary here was really appealing. There were three interviews before the final round, which involved giving a PowerPoint presentation about the product using a slide deck they gave me. Preparing for that was quite challenging, but the questions leading up to it weren't overly complicated. Given how different this job was from my previous roles, I felt like I was interviewing them just as much.

We had a series of interviews and then a mock presentation to the hiring manager. They also did personality and cognitive testing. The process included interviews with HR, the line manager, and a senior sales leader. The very last step was the mock presentation.
