Graduate Engineer - Rail Automation Interview Experience - Italy
Process
- Online verbal reasoning and numerical test: PASSED
- Quality review: PASSED
- Phone interview: FAILED
For a generic role as Graduate Engineer, for which general skills are required, I received the explanation for not passing the interview that I was "against" their requirements and that they were unable to provide further explanations. I am a graduate engineer with about a year of work experience in the railway sector.
In my opinion, the interview went very well. Therefore, there are surely other conditions in their recruitment beyond the requirements stated in the formal brochure. At this moment, I cannot tell if the interview was easy or difficult.
