My recruiter conversation set the tone for a straightforward process. We discussed expectations and my past experience, and after the call went well I moved to a one-on-one interview with higher-ups. That part felt strong, and I left feeling that it had clicked, though I was then waiting for next steps.
The format varied, but each stage relied on prepared questions. In a roughly half-hour Zoom interview, the interviewer first explained the role and then worked through a set list. Another stage focused on how I handled situations, using my background and behavior. There was also at least one sales-oriented interview where we discussed sales scenarios rather than just having a generic conversation.
Even with standard questions, I had to frame my experience clearly. I did not get the role, but I felt good about how I handled behavioral interviews and learned that STAR mattered more than I expected. Confidence helped, but without structure in my stories, it would have been harder to translate my experience into what they wanted.
Location: Birmingham, AL. Overall feedback: positive. Offer status: no offer.
