The process was fairly straightforward and took about 3 weeks. There was an initial phone screen and 2 subsequent interviews with different hiring managers via web conference. I would have preferred to receive constructive feedback as to why I was not selected, but I understand companies do not always provide this.

A day after I applied, I received an email from a Talent Coordinator to schedule a phone screen for the following day. The phone screen took less than 10 minutes, and we scheduled a phone interview with the hiring manager for the following week. That phone interview took about an hour, and was an informal discussion. He was concerned that I didn’t have any sort of background in quality control, but assured him I could easily complete a certification. He was impressed with my sales background and said he would follow up with me the following week since they need someone urgently. I sent a thank you email to the two TC’s I had dealt with, and got a reply saying they would keep my information on file, but not an actual rejection. Very unusual since the tone implied I spoke with the manager and got denied, which I hadn’t.
