Interview
Had a 1:1 interview. The guy was really nice. I thought I had my best interview ever, he said he liked me and enjoyed our convo. He even started about talking about the location I would be working. He said he would get back to me through email. I never heard from him. I called and emailed numerous times. Over a month after the interview I received a rejection letter in the mail.

Interview
I met with the Otis Elevator representatives at my schools career fair. After having a great conversation with one of the head sales men, he asked me if I would like to have an interview the following day. The next day I had the interview and it was mainly asking about myself and why I wanted to get into sales. He told me more about the position, the company, and answered all the questions that I had. I thought the interview went really well, the interviewer seemed very interested but the following day I was notified that I had not moved on to the next round.
