Presentation Behavioral

It's a pretty casual interview. Typically, you'll go through one or two rounds. They might throw a curveball and ask you to sell a random item, like how I was asked to sell a stapler. A good strategy is to ask the 'customer' some questions first to figure out the best way to show them why the item is useful for them.

Confirmed questions2 questions
  • Can you sell me this stapler?
  • Describe a time you resolved a conflict at work.
