The first round was with HR, where they asked about my personal life, like hobbies, how I handle stress, how colleagues would describe me, and why I want to work for Elsevier. The second round was with the Director of Sales. We talked about my experience, and I learned more about the company and the role. It felt more like a relaxed, professional chat than a formal Q&A. The third round was a role-play, which was quite challenging. It seemed simple, but they presented a worst-case scenario where the prospect wasn't interested in Elsevier. They wanted to see how I'd react and manage the meeting, not necessarily to close the deal. The fourth round was a call with another team member, where I learned about the team, culture, and daily tasks.

Behavioral Technical Presentation
Had an HR phone chat for about 30 minutes. Then a video call with the global sales director for about an hour where they asked about my past work experience and explained the role. After that, a 30-minute chat with the regional sales director. This last one didn't dive too deep into past experience but asked other questions, like about system tools.
