Interview
The interview process sweet and to the point. Not difficult at all. First round was with Human Resources. Second was with the hiring manager and the final with the hiring managers manager. Pleasant. Questions were around how to run a territory.
Initial phone screen interview was about 30 minutes. It was very friendly and just focused on my previous experiences with customers and business development. The recruiter reviewed all of the job benefits and we did a light salary negotiation.
