Anyone else dislike overly needy leadership forcing “woo-hoo” zoom meetings to build camaraderie? I mean, the only positives of this crisis is the ability to avoid co-workers and am relishing it.

Hey everyone,
I have a second round interview with a saas company selling education software. This interview will be a 30 minute zoom call with the VP of sales. I am someone from a non- traditional background with 2 years of sales-ish roles but no experience in tech sales and no straight forward sales job.
I did a tech sales bootcamp. Im just worried about what questions he will ask me? Im thinking more technical in terms of sales processes and even sales funnels? Any thoughts?
