it was good but not that good, they had 5 rounds back to back in one day which was really exhausting and made me not want to join anymore.

I saw the job on my college's career website and submitted my resume. After they checked it out, they emailed me to schedule an interview on campus. It was about 30 minutes long. They emailed me an offer within four hours. The offer included a 3-day training seminar in Chicago. I later found out from someone who quit that they had to pay back the airfare and hotel costs, which was in the fine print of the contract.

Got a call out of the blue, no email beforehand. We chatted for about 30 minutes, and I felt pretty good about it. Then I got another call, also unscheduled, but my phone signal was really bad, so it was hard to talk to the person. She asked me about stuff I knew from campus and how I'd deal with a business saying 'no' when I was trying to sell them ad space. Never heard back after that.

Behavioral Technical Presentation
I applied on their website with my resume, cover letter, and a photo. About a month later, the HR manager, a very nice and enthusiastic person, called me. We spoke for about 40 minutes. She asked me about my background, why I chose my major, why I'm interested in sales, and if I'm capable of doing the job. When I said yes, I had to do a spontaneous sales pitch about their product. I then moved to the second round, which was scheduled for two days later with the national sales manager. This round involved behavioral and more sales-focused questions. I had to do another sales pitch, which was tougher, but I managed. Before meeting the sales manager, I had to send in a second cover letter explaining why I'm the best candidate from my school, and they encouraged me to 'brag.' They mentioned they'd contact me by the end of the month. They seem to hire quickly if they're impressed. I got a contract offer soon after. It's important to be good at pitching.
