October 1, 2016

Positive ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I applied through university recruitment by General Motors.

I applied through my college career website and got a call for my face-to-face interview.

There were two rounds of interviews. Both rounds were behavioral. The interviewers were friendly.

After the interview, I was asked to wait for HR's response about the result. After a week, I received an email to apply for the position online, and I am now waiting for HR's reply.

I will update once I get a reply from them.
