The HQ recruiter was great and picked my resume out for the outstanding qualifications. I did the Chally test and application as instructed and was scheduled for an onsite interview. Here's where is went downhill - a 2 person team was waiting comprised of a senior and junior manager. The senior manager was very professional and asked relevant questions. Every time he asked the junior manager if he had any follow-on comments or questions the junior manager would roll his eyes and say he had nothing. I could tell the junior manager didn't like me as soon as I walked in the door I can only assume being over 50 doomed me from the start. Since my experience and credentials are significant it would seem they are looking for the "young/pretty" people.

The hiring process was a pretty smooth transition, I had an email sent to me by a recruiter, I replied to the email and the recruiter called me by phone around 11a and set up a phone interview later that day by 4p with the recruiting specialist, she loved our call and passed me on to the next step. Which was an in person panel interview for the next day with the sales manager, the regional sales manager, and the recruiter I had my initial phone interview with, it was the typical STAR interview questions, but I did well, because I was prepared and I know my experience well! They of course loved me, because I had everyone laughing in the interview! The total interview lasted 40 minutes! Was called that same day by 6:30p and was extended an offer! I accepted!
