Simple application process. A phone iinterview was scheduled for a few days later. Interview was simple and pretty much standard. When asked why I wanted back in sales I replied to increase market share and profits for the branch. I was then asked about my background. When the regional sales manager who was interviewing me found out I had been a regional manager before he asked how much I had increased business for the region in that position. When I replied 56% his tone changed. Even more when he was talking about his region which is a strong region and the lack of double digit growth from year to year. Finally the call ended and I was basically ghosted. No follow up till I pressed the matter. Then the standard "We decided to take a different path" was all I recieved. I even asked for feedback like I do on every bid to see what might have went wrong. Crickets.

Phone interview. Basic rundown of job duties and responsibilities. Not too many questions about yourself, I’m assuming they save that for later in the interview process. Overall one of the easier phone interviews.

2 interviews so far with the company. I was very impressed with the knowledge and professionalism of those interviewing. They seemed to want to understand my relevant experience and how I could plug in to their operation and succeed. They told me about another position that they felt I would be better in.
