Candidatei-me online. O processo levou 2 semanas. Fui entrevistado pela Abacus IT (Los Angeles, CA) em jul. de 2024
Entrevista
I applied via Indeed to their job post. I was contacted a few days later through the platform, not by email. They sent me a list of questions such as:
- "What are your salary expectations for this position? Please provide a specific range and do not put negotiable."
- "Have you managed the Accounts Receivable process before?"
- "Can you describe your approach to managing email, phone calls, and scheduling for your Manager/Executive?"
After answering, I received a calendar link to schedule a call. When I joined the scheduled meeting, I was surprised to find out it was a non-video call, something not mentioned beforehand. This lack of transparency was a red flag. The interview itself was average, and the interviewer was not welcoming, making it feel like they had already decided on another candidate.
After the interview, I sent a thank you note via the email address provided in the calendar invite but received no response. I followed up via the platform a week later, as advised during the interview, and resent my thank you note. It took several days to get a response, which ultimately came on the weekend, informing me that I had been rejected.

The interview lasted for 40 minutes and the owner could not wait to get the interview over after he saw that I was black. He was very enthusiastic in emails leading up to the interview but once the camera was on and he saw the color of my skin his face became disassociated and his body language resembled some one who was looking for an emergency exit as if he had walked through the wrong door.

The one thing that stood out was his needing to shut the window and then the door during the interview process. That gave tall tale signs of being disengaged during the interview.

Entrevista
I scheduled interviews as much as I could around another full time job I already had. First interview was with office manager, relatively quick (20 min) which was frustrating considering the commute. Second interview was with a technician, even quicker than the first interview (10min) which was even more frustrating. Third interview was average length based off the first two. Company reached out quickly, very desperate.
