Entretien
From the beginning of the process, they were so disorganized that I almost withdrew my application. But I decided to give the benefit of the doubt and stick it out. The recruiter set up my initial interview for the next day after our first contact and then disappeared for 8 days without a trace. He reappeared with several apologies saying he was busy with careeer fairs. After my initial interview, we agreed on a date and time for the second interview, which was to be virtual and he asked that I please dress in business attire, which I did. Four minutes before the second interview, he emailed me and said he was sorry, but they had to reschedule. When I did get to the second interview, it was a panel interview but none of the interviewers appeared on video, so it became an audio only interview. One of the interviewers asked how I discovered the position and he was surprised when I said I applied online. He said the recruiter told them he found me himself. The interview actually seemed to go very well. They were laughing and joking with me and finished saying they were definitely passing me to the next two interviews with divisional vp's. These again were set up as virtual interviews as well, and I dressed for each but neither of the interviewers appeared on video. So, to this point, I was 4 interviews deep with 6 people and there was no visual contact whatsoever. The recruiter kept telling me about the positive feedback he got and that there was only one more step after the 4th interview. Two days later he emailed me and said he apologizes but after careful deliberation they chose another candidate who more closely fit what they were looking for.

This was just a phone screening. Screener reached out by text message to schedule a screening. Had to reach out to the screener as I had scheduled at a specific time and there was no contact. Asked 2 questions about my past experience and then proceeded to ask about my mechanical knowledge. After those questions were done I was then asked if I was interested in a store level non management opportunity. I have been a district/area multi store manager going on 10 years. I did not apply to be an area manager to take a store level technician job. Thank of the wasted time.

The process was very unorganized and they did not communicate at all. This is a computer algorithm HR. I had an initial phone screen which went very well. I was then immediately sent an assessment test to complete online. After completing the test the portal switched to under consideration. After 8 weeks I finally reached a person who stated they had chosen another candidate and I was no longer under consideration.

3 Region level interviewers. Asked mostly behavioral interview questions, requiring work experience to draw upon to answer effectively. The interviewers were very personable and created an atmosphere which allowed me to present myself as well as possible.
