Two rounds of interviews at my university then one final round at the regional conference. Regional conference was very unique in that there were directors from each of the sectors of E&J Gallo sales and they shared their experiences and answered any questions before even the first formal interview. Had to come up with a product pitch and present to many directors before the first formal interview. There were four held, two on each day.

I applied online and heard back from the recruiter the very next day. The interview took place a week later and lasted about 30 minutes. The recruiters were really nice, however, it seemed more like they had been trained to be nice rather than being genuinely nice and interested in you. The interview was pretty fast paced and they mainly asked questions about leadership experience. Many of their questions were follow-up based, meaning they asked questions based on your answer to their previous question. They also asked you to go through your resume and your highlights, which in all honesty, it seemed like they hadn't even looked at before the interview. Although I was really stoked about this opportunity at first, I didn't quite like the bit of insincerity I could sense during the interview. Consequently, this made me question whether or not I would really like to work for this company. I could also tell based on the interview that I wasn't suited for this program because they seem to be looking for a very specific type of leadership, which makes sense. Either way, the interview process was pretty okay and like most interviews, although I haven't ever felt that slight ungenuine vibe from any other recruiter I've interviewed with before.
