Interview
The hiring process for this position was slightly long, but the company did a great job communicating effectively and efficiently! I had two in person interviews and a phone interview before being offered the position. The final round of interviews included me speaking with three executives in the Sales department who were extremely friendly and made me feel super comfortable. I also was required to give a sales pitch during my interview on one of the company's products that I was given 2 weeks notice about to prepare for. It was all around a great interview experience and I felt very welcome.

Question 1
The most difficult part of the interview was probably the pitch, just because I have had zero experience in sales before and I was not sure what they were expecting.Trying to remember all of the stats on the product would have been easier if I had not been so nervous about being in an interview. Otherwise. the questions were very typical of any job interview.

Interview
I was invited by email to do an initial phone screen, which was like a mini phone interview with some STAR questions. I then had a phone interview with a district manager, with more open ended questions. Then I had a video interview with the manager of the program.

Interview
It started with a 30 minutes phone interview that was pretty easy. Asked what I would do if I had two clients on opposite sides of my area call me to cancel services. I waited for a month then was scheduled for two 1-hour Skype interviews. The first time this was scheduled nobody contacted me which was frustrating since I had used vacation time from work to do the interview. I never received an apology from the recruiters just a rescheduling for another month later. I was then flown out to the headquarters, taken around in a car service and was treated really well. Met with the director of the program and afterwards had a "low-key coffee chat" with an experienced rep. Frequently was asked to do a sales pitch for one of the vaccines. After using 3 vacation days and spending 6 months through the process I was not offered a position. The most frustrating part was getting interviewed and then not hearing anything for extended periods of time. Getting the job would mean moving across the country and I felt like I couldn't make any major decisions until I heard back so my life was basically on hold. Overall it wasn't a terrible experience but there could be improvements made to make the process more open.
