1 Answers

Went thru three stages of their interview process, didn't get the job and later found out that they hired an internal employee. Why waste my time if they had already had someone inhouse in mind. Should be a law against that. I had to take time off in order to prepare/conduct phone interview and then again when I went in for the inperson interview. The location of the interview was right in the middle of campus, drove around for an hour (yes I allowed an hour in order to find parking) and they finally allowed me to take a reserved spot. Avoid interview over the noon hour, best time would be first in the morning or near the end of the day. This way the parking lots, paid and otherwise will have more available so you can park. Less
