My senior year of college I realized that I didn't love working in a "clinical" setting but loved the material I was learning.

Please briefly explain your job interview process with your hiring company.
I was originally reached out to by Ryan Wickline after he viewed my Zerofee profile. I had two phone interviews with him before I had a phone interview with one of his Sales Representatives. I met with both of them for an in-person interview in Raleigh. My final interview was a dinner interview with the team.
