Behavioral Technical
The interview process started with an in-person interview and was followed by a phone interview with the hiring manager's manager. The reason for a negative review is that the first interview started 30 minutes late, and the second interview (phone) was 90 minutes past its scheduled time. The only reason the second interview happened was that I followed up with the hiring manager.

Behavioral Other
I initially spoke with a recruiter at a university career fair and gave them my resume. They called me to schedule an interview for the next day and sent a confirmation email. The interview itself was pretty laid-back and lasted about an hour. We went over the job duties, the training program details, and the compensation structure (paid training followed by commission-only pay). We also discussed if it would be a good fit for me and if I was interested. They mentioned they were interviewing others throughout the week but would reach out next week with a decision, and training was set to begin the following month.

Behavioral Presentation
I was hired on the spot after the first in-person interview. Since it's outside sales with 100% commission, they just want to see that you're a hard worker. The interview questions were pretty basic; just know your resume and sell yourself.
Confirmed questions1 question
- Describe a challenging customer you encountered in your previous role, detailing how you addressed their objections and surpassed their expectations.
