So first, there was a background check and they just went over my resume with me, like asking more in-depth questions about everything I'd put on there. A lot of the questions were about how I'd deal with tough customers and handle those kinds of scenarios.

Behavioral Case Presentation

The interview was business-like with clear questions. The interviewer was punctual and made me feel comfortable. We did some role-playing to assess sales skills. The interview started at the store and then we moved to another location, which I appreciated for privacy. Right after, I had a Skype call with the Regional Manager.
