Amazing recruitment. Thoroughly respectful and wanting a candidate to progress. They create a sense they truly want the candidate to be a part of the company which makes it easier to relax and show your best self.

I had a telephone screen and that went well. About a week later had a panel interview with with about six peaople. I was moved to next phase and was supposed to do a presentation. I thought that went well. I was then moved to next phase and I talked with someone from HR I thought it was a little strange to be talking with someone from HR and it seemed the questions that she asked were pretty much the same as the managers and reps that I talked with asked. She was saying how close the team was in Florida and they all sit together. Not sure of the reason she was saying that because I am not located in Florida. Also, asked where do you see yourself in five years and this has got to be one of the oldest and worst questions to ask in an interview seemed like this was read from a book from 80's or 90's interview questions to ask. The question has no value to the 21st working world. In any case, I asked for next steps and she said the recruiter would be reaching out to me. Well I have been ghosted by the recruiter, I get it I know they are busy and they don't owe me anything, but would have been really nice to get some feedback especially since I had made it deep into the interview process.

The interview process was to be (5) total interviews. 1. Phone interview with a recruiter. 2. With team manager and team leader. 3. with all the team managers (in that department) and a few team leaders. In this interview you do a presentation and then about 45 minutes of questions from the group. ( There were 6 people total). 4. With the HR manager and the 5. With the VP of Sales. I made it to the 3rd interview. I didn't get moved on to the 4th. My 2nd and 3rd were virtual (because of pandemic) The 2nd, I rocked it! On the 3rd, I had technical difficulties and then it tripped me up. I felt like I started stumbling and then got it back together. They could tell I was stumbling. I tried to recover and pulled myself back together and I did finish the interview strong but not strong enough to move on to the next interview....
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
My best suggestion would be to do your research on what types of sales questions are asked in an interview and make sure you have your presentation on point. I prepped for this interview for a week. I received a template from the recruiter to prepare the presentation. I even received inside help from someone in the current position with tips on what they were looking for in the presentation. I got very nervous ( hence the stumbling) because after my presentation one of the other sales managers said, "where did you get this information???" She said it kind of sternly so I immediately thought, "oh crap, she thinks someone did this for me" or "maybe the info my inside person shared wasn't supposed to be shared?" I answered by telling her I did online research but let her know I did an informational interview with someone on their team to learn more about the position etc. This definitely affected my performance after that because she could tell I got nervous, became anxious then to realize I forgot to turn my camera back on for about 5 minutes into the questions after the presentation... (hence the technical difficulties)
If you are trying to transition from one industry to sales (like I was), it is very important to show your transferable skills. (Which I did and I think I did a great job in that area.) Make sure to know what motivates you, what is your greatest weakness, what part of your current job do you like the least ( make sure to turn it into a positive). Make sure all of your answers translate into sales. I did pretty well with most of the questions but I can see where I need to improve. I didn't get the job but I learned a lot for the next time. I hope to apply again next year. My friend who works here in this department interview twice before getting hired. Her friend who works with her interview three times before getting hired.
