Phone conversations along with a one-way video interview have made up the process so far. Will keep an eye out moving forward in the process as I continue forward. I look forward to the opportunity
I applied online. I interviewed at United Laboratories in Aug 2020
Interview
I was contacted immediately after I submitted my resume. I agreed to a preliminary phone interview for a couple of days later. The interview was about a half hour and went well so we scheduled a second phone interview that was much longer for the following week. The interviewer (HR person) and I had a great interview and she seemingly liked my qualifications and personality. She sent me a link to a video type interview that I had to record from home from prerecorded questions. Once that was completed and they received it the HR person said I would hear from the local regional sales manager the following day. I followed up two days later since I didn't hear from the regional guy. Crickets.... I followed up a second time a few days later and got a call back from the HR person indicating that the regional guy had "concerns" that where I live (nearly in the center of the territory) was an issue because I had to cross a somewhat busy bridge in a commute each day. This was utterly ridiculous, a dishonest concern from someone that doesn't even live locally and, quite frankly, a blatantly lazy excuse for not moving forward. She did indicate that I was still under consideration and to expect to hear back soon. Crickets... I was completely ghosted.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Can you be in your territory and ready to work by 6AM each day?
Hello, I believe I hired you in Seattle last month. The concern living on the Outer Banks was a real concern, but you convinced me in the face to face interview it would not be an issue. Coming from your former industry you know that proximity and the distance you must drive to start your day are very important. Welcome to United.
