I have a final interview with a SaaS company for an entry level SDR role. It would be my first interview for this kind of role. The interview is with the sales director and sales manager. What kind of questions should I expect? Any help is appreciated.

Best answer for tell me a bit about yourself is to focus on past ( past experiences that add value ) current role and what you are doing and future plans in terms of career .

Then after that sprinkle some non professional related stuff about who you are as a person ...

I have always loved the Brian Burns approach - ask them to define the perfect SDR and then explain to them how you're that. This way you're in control of the conversation.

One that may pop up is how you would approach prioritizing your accounts for prospecting. (Assuming itโ€™s outbound)

I like this approach and it's very critical to show them your approach/process

Iโ€™m always impressed with candidates that take the time to ask me clever questions. Donโ€™t be shy to ask what made them join the organisation, what they would expect from a new joiner in the first 30 days, how they would describe the culture and for feedback at the end of the interview

I studied computer science in school but I didnโ€™t do well due to life coming in the way. I got poor grades but ultimately finished my degree without any internship experience.

After three months of job search, I started for 45K at a construction company as a Jr App Support. After a year I shifted in to QA for 65k and now after a year of QA, I have finally gotten a position as a software engineer for 78K base.

The imposter syndrome is finally gone!

Hang in there, hard work pays off.
