Behavioral Technical Presentation
Had several video interviews, starting with the District Manager and then moving up to the Regional and Corporate levels. They asked questions and we discussed the role, what they expect, and how my knowledge of the territory and my past experience would be useful.

So I had like 8 interviews before they gave me the offer. Two of them were face-to-face and the rest were over the phone. After I got the offer, the background check took three whole weeks.

Behavioral Technical
Had a phone interview that went well, mostly basic background questions. Then a second interview with the District Manager and the person who used to do this job (he got promoted). Thought this interview went really well, with more detailed questions about my work history, future plans, and some situational questions, but nothing too intense or awkward. I felt good about it all, but then got a "thanks, but no thanks" email a few days later, which was a bummer. Too bad. It seemed like a good place to work. The interviewers were nice and professional, but not overly formal. The company has a good reputation for career growth. I suspect they're looking for younger employees eager to move up the corporate ladder.
