J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 3 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Lumen
Entretien
I haven't gotten a single email from Lumen. Hirevue sent me an email immediately after I submitted my resume. I did the hirevue (recorded video questions, and then you play 2 games) then a week later a recruiter called me, I said sure let's move forward, then a week after, the hiring manager called me, and scheduled an interview with me 2 weeks out.
1 Hirevue video interview with 2 games that you play at the end.
1 Panel interview with 3 people from the team (hiring manager + team leads)
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
Their interview questions are very weird, before they ask you the actual question, they'll say a couple of sentences like (this question is about planning and coordination, we value these skills because....) then they'll ask the question. It honestly felt so impersonal and uncoordinated. The Associate Engineer role also has nothing to do with technology, it's project management with vendors, contractors, the city, etc..
This is all behavioral type of questions
AI initial interview. Then a panel interview, with very odd questions. Poor communication after the interview, it took them about a month to get back to me if I got the job or not.

Immediately received an email for a self-paced video interview.
*If you are reading this - stop and read below*
*Below is my suggestion to make it past the self-paced video interview to a phone interview - and future interviews with other companies*
Spend the next several days creating a Word Document (I wrote 7-8 pages, 12 font) that uses the S.T.A.R.L. Method.
S - Situation (Set the scene)
T - Tasked (Describe the purpose)
A - Actions (Explain what you did)
R - Result (Share the outcome)
L - Learned (What are some lessons learned)
This will help you in all your future interviews as well.
For this role specifically:
Use STARL method to answer interview questions about:
• Impact of a complex problem
• Using limited time and resources effectively
• Tight Deadline
• Outside your responsibility
• Significant Improvement
• Invented Something
• Decision with data
• Decision without data
• Most difficult task
• Ambiguity
• Fix Something
• Unfinished task
• Brought correction
• Above and beyond
*Think about it from the interviewers perspective, the interviewers listen to people talk out of their butt all day - however their ears will perk up with they hear, clear, concise smart answers to their questions.*
Once you have all the answers to these types of questions - rehearse and practice talking about your answers like you are not reading them. Reading is totally fine during the self-paced video interview.
When you take the self-paced video interview - you'll have time between answers to look at the next question, that will give you time to find the next STARL answer that fits the interview question.
Suggestion: Do not ad-lib. Be clear and concise - you do not have to use the entire time allotted.
*The Games Track Eye your movement - Keep your eye on the screen at all times - otherwise it will think you are cheating and the game will end sooner. *
