Behavioral
I had a phone interview where they asked general questions. Then I had a virtual interview with the hiring managers which was more in-depth behavioural questions. The hiring managers were helpful and told me what they were looking for in my answers. Both interviews were nice experiences, but my internet cut out during the virtual one, so it was cut short.

First I talked to HR over the phone. Then, I had an interview with the regional manager at a Hilti Store. They asked typical questions for an experienced sales professional. After that, I did a day-long ride along with a Sr. Sales person, who then gave feedback to the regional manager. I prepared some questions for the ride along to learn more about the job and the skills needed.

Presentation Behavioral
It was a really long process, taking over three months from the first interview. I felt like they were either dragging their feet or just not that interested, but I guess that's pretty standard for them. There were just too many people to meet with, and it seemed like we were pretty low on their priority list. Even if you get through all that, you still have to do two weeks in Oklahoma before they officially clear you to start.
Confirmed questions1 question
- Conduct a mock sales call. There isn't one specific correct way to do it; they seem to want to see how you handle pressure by pushing back.
