If you're not inside baseball here, you may as well skip applying. I have interviewed with Dominion 4 times - bringing a utility service operations and technology background and despite this - I get passed over - and when looking up people on LinkedIn - it's clear they bring next to zero experience to the table but yet get the jobs despite answering phones as a front desk clerk, working reception at the YMCA, or working as a trainer at Ruby Tuesday - yes, really - just do a search on LinkedIn and you'll see. Each time had 2 or 3 rounds with an interview panel - which all went well, at least in my eyes, great back and forth and answered the questions relating to great experience, etc. etc. *THEN* - after this, get introduced to the "hiring manager" who was never present for any of these calls or in-person conversations and then spends 10 minutes with you asking you - not much - and asks you things that you - wont know - because you aren't currently working there - and makes it clear that he is a manager and a team leader and while he was able to rise through the ranks, when you get to the part about "being part of a long-term family," you shouldn't expect the same opportunities as him, more or less. Good times. Then like clockwork - 4 days later, form rejection by email. But gosh - look at that YMCA front desk clerk rising through the ranks.
