Preguntas de entrevista para Intersection

I was reached out to by a recruiter, who was great! Very involved, would check in regularly and made sure to give feedback after each interview. I did an initial phone screen, then had a zoom interview with the hiring manager which went great! I received positive feedback and they asked me to come into the office to give a sales pitch in person to the team. They made it seem like I would he pitching to a team of 3-4 sales leaders/executives. They told me to come prepared with a pitch deck and to have the deck printed out as well. They also said I would be able to use presenter notes. I paid to print out four copies of the deck and brought them in along with my presentation on my laptop and notes. When I arrived I was waiting for about 10-15 minutes in a conference room alone before someone came in and I ended up only presenting to the hiring manager, the same one I had already had a zoom call with. After the presentation she asked why I was using notes but I had the understanding the notes were okay. I was also able to speak with one of the Senior AEs on the team afterwards, which was helpful. I received feedback from the recruiter, he said that the hiring manager didn’t like that I used notes and said “um” too much. Ultimately wasn’t the best fit as the pay was very low compared to other similar sales roles. I also felt like my time wasn’t valued as I could have just done my sales pitch on the zoom call instead of going to their office to meet with someone I already interviewed with. (Also wasted money to print out copies of a presentation that got thrown away)

I had 2 initial interviews (with a director of marketing and an art director) that went very well. Recruiter told me I'd received excellent feedback, but the hiring team needed to do their "due diligence" and interview other candidates. I waited 4 weeks for the final step, which was a 2-part design assignment that took about 8 hours. Waited another 2 weeks and was finally told I didn't get the job, and was given no explanation. A couple days later I noticed the job was reposted on multiple job boards. It appears I was turned down for nobody after a two-month-long interview process. Honestly, I have never been so disrespected in my entire 14-year career as a designer.
