Process
I was contacted on LinkedIn by a recruiter who then set up a phone screening with me. After the phone screening, I did a phone interview that consisted of one technical interview question. A couple weeks after the phone interview, I was contacted by the recruiter via phone and informed that they would not be moving forward with me at this time because there were no open positions at the lab right now.
Questions
