I had a phone screen with a recruiter. We discussed my resume, my interests, and my reasons for wanting to join SpaceX. The recruiter communicated updates and scheduling details effectively. They called first, then emailed the specifics, which was excellent on their part.

Next, I interviewed with the Lead Manufacturing Engineer. This session involved discussing my work accomplishments and answering a few technical questions. I hadn't anticipated technical questions and was unprepared, which led to a lack of confidence in my responses.

A month later, I received a generic rejection email.

Tell me about your greatest accomplishments.

Let's say you have a scuba tank and you want to perform a pressure test, would you use water or air?
