It was pretty straightforward. The interviewer asked me about my background and my motivation for applying to this specific company. They also shared some positive aspects of working there. Finally, they gave me a chance to ask some questions.

Behavioral Case

I got an email for an interview. They just asked if I had any sales experience. Then they just asked a bunch of star questions. such as give us an example of when this happens... and how you would react. I only did one interview and i was hired on the spot even with my little experience. I started about 3 days later. I was given a little booklet with different sales scenarios.
