Interview
I had been in contact with the recruiter for about 6 months and she seemed really interested the two times I spoke to her. I was originally 6 months from graduating with my bachelors when I first spoke to the recruiter and because of the relocation requirement they were not able to continue the interview process. I was told to call when I was one month away from graduating and she even gave me her cell phone number.
I felt that I had built a rapport and called when I was one month away from graduating. I did the phone interview with the same person who I had dealt with several times before so I felt fairly confident. I must not have been what they were looking for, however, because I got a rejection email the following day.
My advice is that if you have a family don't mention it! Don't mention that you're married and/or if you have children when they ask you to talk about yourself. I'm not sure if that was the issue for me or if I just really bombed the "average" interview questions. Either way, I got the feeling they are looking for young college graduates, not persons with a family. Even though I was completely available for relocation, which is a priority for this job, I wasn't able to get past the phone interview.

Interview
Phone interview with 3rd party company that I feel reads from a script and doesn’t actually know the company. It was fairly simple with basic questions usually about 5. The call only took roughly 15 minutes. This type of interview method is poorly looked upon from other employers. Once you apply you receive emails stating if you move forward, if that’s the case you do online interview then a panel interview.
