Process
After applying online, I was contacted to take part in a phone screen with HR.
The interview was easy. She asked typical HR questions:
- "Why this job?"
- "What are your career aspirations?"
After the interview, she told me that I performed very well and that I'd soon be invited to the assessment centre. That never happened.
After an unexplainable 10-week wait, I was rejected.
I'm very disappointed with the interview process.
