The most recent job I applied for was a sales representative position/training program, and I actually accepted the offer a few weeks ago. My experience throughout the interview process genuinely made me want the role even more. Everyone I interacted with was incredibly welcoming and informative and really emphasized strong company culture, which stood out to me in the best way.
The interview process included three rounds. First with the recruiter I’d been in touch with from the beginning, then with the program manager, and finally with the VP of Sales. What I really appreciated was how the recruiter stayed in contact with me after each round and was super supportive the entire time. Each conversation made the opportunity more exciting, as they continued to highlight different aspects of the role and the company overall.
They touched on things that really matter to me, like work-life balance, a hybrid work environment, commission-based incentives, and overall growth opportunities within the company. By the end of the process, it was clear that this was a place where I could see myself not only starting my career but also growing long term. The entire experience made me feel confident in my decision to accept the offer. This is what led to me accepting the offer. I genuinely enjoyed that they made me feel like they were looking for someone to be an addition to their team and not like I needed them as some other jobs I had applied for had done in the past.

Congrats on getting the job Breona! That’s awesome. I think it’s really cool how the people you talked to made you feel welcomed and not just like another applicant. It makes such a big difference when a company shows they actually care about you and not just filling a spot. I also liked how they kept in touch with you after each round that would’ve made me feel way less nervous. Sounds like you found a great place to start your career. Good luck you’re gonna do great!
Hi Breona! It seems that you had a great job application experience! Something that stood out to me as positive is how informative and welcoming everyone was. I believe this to be positive because it is important that your potential employers are giving you the proper information and going into detail about the company and the position. Additionally, I always appreciate when my potential employers display a positive and welcoming attitude. I want to work in a place where the work environment is safe and engaging for all! I am glad you were confident in your decision to work in your offered position. I am sure you are an excellent addition to their team! Thanks for sharing!
Hi Breona,
Congrats on accepting a role in sales, and securing a post-grad job! Very exciting, it sounds like the perfect role for the situation you are looking for. I resonate with the recruiter assisting a ton throughout the hiring process, I myself have been interviewing for SDR / BDR roles. I have found the recruiters to actually be more of a resource to me than a gatekeeper for jobs, as long as I am able to get my foot in the door. Awesome stuff, I hope this is the start to a fulfilling career for you!
