Innersense Organic Beauty interview questions

Overall the interview process was pleasant. The recruiter reached out first to arrange the sessions. The first interview was with the Founder who asked a series of behavioral questions. The second interview was with the Hiring Manager, who asked about the background experience and the technical questions.

This interview was maybe a year and a half ago. I was super excited to get the interview because I loved Innersense. Speaking with Joanne was really refreshing, and I felt comfortable with her immediately. I had a follow up interview with another woman who asked me three back to back “yes/no” questions, left me no room to elaborate, cut me off and spent 15 minutes talking at me, telling me I wouldn’t be able to do the job. She made me feel small. Her concern was that I didn’t have any b2b sales experience which was so silly because I had plenty of experience in business development and sales. I was super bummed, it hurt my confidence a little, but shortly after something better turned up. I was able to join the tech industry after 13 years in the beauty industry— something I had no experience in.
