Mean_Letter_8490's journey

I recently had a challenging interview experience while trying to transition from an operations role in the hospitality industry to a sales position. I had my first round with the HR manager, who seemed impressed with my background. However, during the second round with the Sales Head, things took a turn. He asked about my experience and my reasons for wanting to switch to sales, which I felt I answered adequately. But then he posed a sales-specific question that I struggled to answer in detail, and I could tell he was disappointed. I tried to salvage the situation by asking him to pose another question to help him understand me better, but he didn't have any further inquiries and mentioned that HR would reach out if there was a next round. Now, I'm left feeling confused and unsure of my chances. I genuinely want this role, but I'm not sure how to move forward after what felt like a bad interview. I've received some advice from others, suggesting that I should learn from this experience and keep pushing forward. It's clear that sales interviews require a different approach, where taking control and engaging actively is crucial. I'm hoping to apply this feedback to my next opportunity.
