Presentation Behavioral

It's been a total waste of my time, energy, and effort. The first interview involved role-playing a sales pitch to a client, focusing on understanding their website, which I'd prepared a lot for and felt I did well. Then, I moved to a second round where I had to again demonstrate my knowledge of the website and answer questions. I was told I did very well and was advanced directly to the third round, where I was supposed to meet a rep and potentially sell to a scientist. I was told I'd get an email within two weeks, but instead, I got an email in two days saying they weren't moving forward with my application. I asked for feedback and was ignored. It's a terrible company; they seem disorganized.

Had a video interview with the regional manager. We did a self-introduction and discussed my understanding of the industry and how I'd plan my daily tasks. The manager was friendly, but the third round felt intense.
