I first spoke with a recruiter and had to complete an online skills test that any other employee would have to complete. Once receiving the results, I was given a follow-up interview with the District Sales Manager of one of the Atlanta teams. We met one-on-one, and it was a casual interview about the company, day-to-day interactions, expectations, and my hopes for the future.
