They asked me the usual questions about my availability and my tech skills. I talked about how I'm good with complex tech and helping customers, and how I can sell them the company warranty to make sure it's the right fit for their tech purchase.

The process was super relaxed and straightforward. From what I gathered, they prioritized personality and a willingness to learn over hard skills. The first interview involved 5-7 questions, all written down. The second interview then dug deeper into those initial answers.

Went through a bunch of interviews, some on the phone, some in person. After all that, I heard nothing back, not even an email saying I didn't get the job. One of the interviews was with someone who was really sick, they barely made eye contact and were pretty abrupt and rude.
