There were five interviews total. First, just a quick recruiter call. Second, met with the Marketstar managers. Third, talked to the person you'd report to from the contracted company (like HP, Pinterest, etc...). Fourth, met with that person's manager (the HP or Pinterest or Xerox district manager). Fifth, a Skype interview with both the Marketstar managers and the contracted company's district manager. Or if no Skype, you meet in person. Oh, and there's a drug test and background check too.

The process was quite easy. I got a call the day after applying from the hiring company for a quick qualification. They scheduled a webcam interview which I found easy. They were focused on sales and building the BestBuy employee relationship. Even though neither of their webcams worked, the interviewers were the MarketStar manager and the Senior Sales Supervisor for Sony in the region.

It was pretty chill, they explained the job. Then they asked about my background, what I knew about the position, how I could help the team grow, my time management skills, and my biggest weakness.
