Behavioral Other
It was a really good experience. First, I had a phone screen with the recruiter, then another phone screen with the hiring manager. After that, there was a panel interview, followed by a day in the field. Finally, they extended an offer and I had to complete a background and drug test. This company is a great place to start a career in business-to-business sales. They offer a lot of training and skills practice. The manager was great, and people tend to stay with the company for a long time.
