Interview
I spoke with a Yelp representative at UT McCombs Career fair and she said I'd move to the next round of interviews. Then I got a call and did a phone screen with a sales manager. After that they had me skype interview with two sales managers who asked behavioral questions and had me do a sales pitch and then give feedback and then I utilized that feedback and did the sales pitch again.
