I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at CDW (Chicago, IL)
Interview
The process was very straightforward. You contact a hiring recruiter specify for interns, then you go and interview with them (Unless you applied through an online application). They then call you again for another one with them, but still not too professional. Then you move on to your last interview for the sales manager that you’ll be working under. If that person likes you, then you’re in, if not then you’re not. However, in my case, I waited around 1-2 months and another manger (which their intern dropped) saw my interview recording with the previous manager. And if they like you and if not, you know what I’m trying to say. Pretty good at how the process goes and can’t complain. (Was scary at first, but always talk with the hiring recruiter because that’ll make things easier and probably does make your odds of getting hired higher).
Good luck to anyone seeing this, you got this!
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Name a time that you encountered a problem you didn’t know the answer to and how you resolved it. (They do a lot of STAR questions (look that up)).
Very nice i went thru two rounds the first was 30 mins and the second was an hour. Many behavioral questions but all of them were pretty basic, have stories prepared
I applied online. I interviewed at CDW (Austin, TX) in Jan 2026
Interview
It was very friendly and easy. In both rounds, they try to make you feel comfortable by asking some personal questions, then move on to 3 behavioral questions. Had the opportunity to talk with interviewers on a more personal level as well.
