Interview
Pretty standard except that you interviewed with your direct supervisor and one of their peers. Definitely had a corporate feel as far as the rigorousness of the process. Small companies can check out your resume, see if you are even close to a match, talk to you and decide whether they like you or not. Big companies often screen out good people because they don't match on paper.

I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Nebraska Furniture Mart (Omaha, NE) in Dec 2017
Interview
Be on your A Game! Be social and dress sharp. I came with resume and questions to ask. I also wrote a cover letter describing why I want to work there and why they would want to hire me. A resume is just the facts, but a cover letter is the "why".
was generally good, the sales manager seemed a little arrogant and demeaning of competition. seemed kind of strange being the new guy in such a large market. they may become alot bigger in the marketshare, but for now i don't think so much
