Entretien
I applied online and received an email and phone call from a recruiter shortly after to schedule an initial phone interview. About a week later I held the phone interview and was told to come in the next week for a final in-person interview. They mostly ask behavioral interview questions and was told by a friend that was currently working there that they are big on the star interviewing technique. I took about two days to go over my examples and I did as well as I could have on the interview, but they are looking for very high-energy people that are extremely outgoing and I was not quite there yet. Overall, it was a relatively simple process; just make sure you have your examples of accomplishments and skills known by heart and be overly outgoing.

Pre-recorded screening interview (timed), phone interview, video interview, then another interview. I made it to the video interview, only to be denied the position without the promised follow-up. To make matters worse, I was denied a position as an Account Representative, so they either have two titles for the same position or I never interviewed for the position to which I applied.
Overall, the process was fairly quick (about two weeks), but my last interviewer didn't seem to like any of my answers, despite reiterating them to other CDW sales employees, who though they were excellent answers... I honestly think it was the interviewer, who didn't smile once and talked over me constantly, but I guess I'll never know.

All sorts. I wish I found this link before I applied (many of the questions asked are here): https://mrsimon.ai/interview-questions/cdw/

I applied for the Sales Training Program then immediately received an on demand video interview with pre-recorded questions. A good approach to this type of interviews is to apply first using fake info to receive the interview link, then do it without recording any answers. This way you get to copy the questions and prepare answers.
However, I did not hear back. I guess I was not attractive enough
