Very relaxed environment, I participated in the Emerging Leaders Summit so which parts of it was a bit redundant and basic information. The role play scenario was really easy, just practicing to sell something with a small objection.

Question 1
Why do you think your personality is the right fit for sales?
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Gartner (Barcelona) in Feb 2024
Interview
Two interviews over a week, one with a hiring manager and one with a specialist I would be working with. Both were pretty standard conversations with questions you would expect to receive. They asked about my previous experience, why would I be a good fit for the role etc.
It was a quick phone screening that had behavioral questions. It went over questions that were related to me and saw how I reacted to them. It brought forth some challenging questions that need the star method.
