I was contacted about this position and wasn't actively looking, but I was open to speaking with the Corporate Recruiter who previously held this role. We had a phone screen, followed by an in-person interview with the hiring manager. I received email confirmations detailing the interview location and time.

Amanda from the company contacted me via email about a Logistics Sales Manager position. She mentioned she had my resume, although I'm unsure how she got it. The role required at least 2 years of experience. I accepted the interview, but unfortunately, I didn't get the job. I would have preferred to apply for an entry-level position, as I just finished freight broker training last month. I appreciate them considering me for the interview, as this is the field I'm passionate about and want to continue in.

I had a prescreen phone call that covered my resume and the job. Then I had a real phone interview with someone. After that, I went to the Cowan HQ in Baltimore and met the manager. He didn't really interview me; he just explained the job and what he expected. After that meeting, I never heard back from Cowan. I called the HQ and left messages asking if I got the job. I also called Dallas four times and left messages, but no one ever responded.

A company recruiter reached out to me, and we set up an interview for sometime in the next week or two. The interview itself was about 30 minutes long and included discussion about the job's responsibilities and some general questions for me. The interviewer and recruiter were both very pleasant.
