Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Fairly easy question. Did you gradute any kind of degree? Where do you wnt to be in 5 years
Quick and easy. Video call with upper management. Relaxed, mainly asked about wotk life balance and availability. Nothing to worry about honestly. Ended up having to cut it dirty for a family emergency call
Three rounds of interviews screener and two interviews with GM or higher with the company. Will need to do drug teat and have a clean driving record. There are typically 15 to 20 questions
Interview done by phone, then no call back. Even spoke with three current employees for reference, still no word. I have even previously worked with this company. Poor communication on their end
