    Hey guys,

    I'm interviewing for a territory managment position with a distributor in my area next week. I just wanted to know if anyone has any tips or experience along these lines and what I may want to consider before moving forward with the job if all goes well.

    Thanks.

    You love all the brands carried by your distributor and you hate all other brands.

    All stores should stock only the brands carried by your distributor.

    Any bar that wants to pour your brands should pour only your brands. Those that comply get free stuff regardless of the legality.

    You are a competition-crushing cyborg.

    Hi swhite11, I'll be your interviewer. Just bring an envelope full of large bills and everything should go fine.

    Best advice I ever got about interviewing for a job:

    Make sure you use the restroom while you're there. That's where you find out what the company thinks of its employees and what the employees think of the company.

    Yeah this. You want advice beyond what this site is meant to provide.
    Good luck.

    That's pretty standard for any interview.

    Haha, It's funny because I'm meeting the craft and specialty manager at one of our local craft beer bars for the interview. That being said self-control will be a good thing to bring with me.

    Bring a beer bong and a bottle of Black Tuesday. Load that thing up in front of boss man and let him know you don't f*!k around when it comes to beer.
