Behavioral Technical Presentation

Had a phone call with HR first, a friend referred me. Then went for an in-person interview. Was in a room for a few hours, had a panel interview with teams of 2 and spoke with 8+ people, all sales managers and the sales director. Seemed to go well with the managers, they liked my experience. The Director barely looked up, just stared at my resume and asked slow, unenthusiastic questions. Said I've worked for too many companies (3), which could be a red flag. I explained it was an asset to my experience and business acumen. He didn't agree or listen to his sales managers. I was turned down. I was probably overqualified and unemployed at the time.

It starts with a phone call from HR, which is usually the easiest part. They might even help you get ready for the next interview. After that, you'll get an email inviting you for an in-person interview. There, you'll shadow a current sales rep and then go through two more interview rounds. Each round will have a director or manager and about 2-3 representatives.
