Please briefly explain your job interview process with your hiring company.

While in the waiting room 2 reps from the company talked to me. Then shortly after the president of the company brought me in to his office where he and the vice president started off with giving me the Galup Test. After that they both asked me many questions why I applied to their company and asked me why i'd be a good fit. Then asked me some questions to see if I had an understanding of anatomy as well as the products they sell. Then went to the back and discussed products more and what territory I would cover. Lastly, brought me back into the presidents office and offered me the position. (This interview was approximately 3hrs & 30mins)
