Behavioral Presentation
I spoke with the sales rep, territory manager, and sales trainer. The first interview was a casual conversation but they really wanted to know why I would be a good candidate. The second interview involved a presentation about a procedure and products. The third interview was similar to the first. I decided to withdraw my application before continuing.

Behavioral Case Presentation
The interview process started with a 30-minute call with the Regional Sales Manager. It was a casual chat to get to know each other, discuss your knowledge about trauma, and why you'd be a good fit. The second round was in person, continuing the conversational style with situational questions. For the final round, they sent over some of their products and clinical studies, and I had to prepare a presentation about a type of injury and the pros and cons of different treatment options. After the presentation, there were more formal questions.
