I did a 1 hour call with the project lead, then a test, then 8 hours of back to back zoom interviews with the leads (then an hour with the COO who tried to convince me to take the job after I turned down the offer)

Great company just I had better options.

Tests are more of a pain in the ass than interviews tbh, especially since the only reason they give tests is to be able to legally not hire you without bitches crying discrimination and trying to sue

The shortest was walking into the interview room and seeing the grinning faces of 3 former coworkers behind the desk. We spent the 5 mins in the room deciding where we should go for lunch to catch up.

I swear I remember hearing somewhere in an HR class that tests are illegal (or that sjws are trying to make it illegal) because it unfairly discriminates against black people. I also remember for sure hearing that places can't use a dishonerable discharge from the military to screen out employees because it disproportionately affects black people too.

Sounds like an ideal interview. The closest thing I had was a friend recommending me to his department twice. Both times declined (no interview) because it was in bookkeeping.

1 phone interview with owner
1 with director of technology and business manager
1 with owner and VFD guy from parent company who just happened to be in town
1 dinner with director of technology and lead engineer

Phone interview was actually 7 months before the other ones. Buddy of mine that worked there and was really pushing for me to work there was talking me up to the owner and he wanted to talk to me. We talked for a bit about what I had been doing and I told him I wasn't ready to leave my old job yet. 7 months later I had changed my mind and texted him.

I’ve literally only had 1 interview at any time before getting hired, even for law jobs (no huge multinational firms tho). Just got lucky or either knew somebody (srs).

I'm sure it's not uncommon. I was hired at a place (law firm funnily enough) who just called me in for an interview and I was hired on the spot.

My wife was also hired at a remote job just through a single remote interview.

What really is unbelieve is like my parents who just walked into a place, asked if they were hiring, and got hired on the spot.

Them boomers had it ****ing easy.

True that, I’ve never been able to just walk up to a place, but man I wish I had experience with actual interviews.

Most of my connections I made previously were at a bar or some event where I can just be a good time and covid has fukked that right up.

Now I’m trying to get into consulting and idk how to write a compelling cover letter to get by HR or do anything than try to just blitz out my resume and all these online applications won’t always auto pull my resume info so it takes forever.

Maybe I should just be a used car salesman?

I had one where it was a 4 interviews total

1st one was a phone interview

2nd one was a video interview where you record yourself answering questions

3rd was interview with the HR person

4th interview was with the manager of the area and you had to present a powerpoint slideshow showcasing your resume and any hobbies that you had and why you wanted the job and why the company would be a good fit.
