The interview consisted of three people on other side of desk asking questions with laptop open. They asked about previous experience and how i would respond to certain situations. Told me i would know in a week but waited three weeks to tell me i didn’t get the job.
The interview was conducted in a professional manner. Questions were clear and relevant. The discussion covered the expected topics. Overall, the process was straightforward and consistent with standard interview practices.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Denver Water (Denver, CO) in May 2025
Interview
Before diving in, I want to emphasize that I value and respect this company. It was a great opportunity to be considered for these positions and I understand that there are plenty of well suited candidates out there. I had interviewed for Denver Water twice, both positions had a similar title and both were Teams Video Interviews. For both interviews, the questions were not very technical, but more behavioral: "tell us about yourself", "tell us about a time you had to think outside of the box", "how do you handle multiple tasks", "tell us about a time you failed", "tell us about your experience with quality assurance and quality control", "is there a question you wished we asked you". For the first interview, I had an excellent referral from a previous supervisor. After receiving a rejection email, a member of the Denver Water hiring team had bumped into me in person and emphasized that I could be a great fit for a full time position at Denver Water and I should apply to this other open position. The second interview had a different team, but it ran quite similarly. After what felt like a good interview and another referral from a reliable source, I did not get the position.
