Process
In October, I posted my resume at a career fair at my university. After three weeks, the recruiter contacted me and scheduled a phone interview. During the interview, I was asked many questions about Java basic knowledge and given two easy coding problems. After the phone interview, the recruiter told me they would provide feedback within a week.
