This was a challenging process, but it is clearly thoughtful with the intention of hiring the right people. The process consisted of several steps. I was referred by an employee who handed my resume to a Sales Manager (very lucky). Next I was contact for an informal phone interview, where I was directed to complete a multiple choice behavioral assessment. After that, I had an formal phone interview with hiring manager implementing the STAR method asking behavioral/situational type questions. Lastly, an in-person interview with the Senior Sales Manager for the specific vertical I was interested in. I got an offer on the spot post-interview questions.
Pro-tips:
- Have some great questions to ask, specific to the vertical you're applying for. Be specific.
- Prepare. Prepare. Prepare. I may have spent 10 hours studying their company including a lot of reading, and memorizing key partners, products, services, and solutions provided.
