I applied for the QA Analyst position via a university job board website around October. I was contacted by a HR Rep from the company in December and had an initial phone screening with her. This lasted about 20 minutes and included information about my education experience (fields of study, academic clubs, classes taken) and work experience (previous positions, what I liked/disliked about them, etc.).
After this interview, Farragut sent me a QA project via E-mail in which I had to take a product and write test cases for it. I had a week to finish and submit this project. After I submitted the project, I had another phone interview, this time with the head of the QA department. This lasted 20-30 minutes and was mostly questions about Quality Assurance and what I knew about basic QA concepts and terms (test cases, black box and white box testing, etc.).
A week after this, I was invited to Farragut's campus in Durham for an on-site interview. I was asked to complete a DiSC personality test online before the on-site interview. This was a three-hour interview and consisted of four parts. The first part of the interview was a 30-minute job shadowing with a QA analyst at the company. She went over what she did on a daily basis and showed me the programs that were used. Next, I had a 90-minute lunch interview with two other QA analysts in the company. They took me to a local restaurant and we discussed my work experience and the job I was applying for over lunch. After this, I had an in-person interview with the head of the QA department (the same person I spoke to during my second phone interview) who asked me some general behavioral questions. This took about 30 minutes. For the last part of the interview, I spoke with the HR representative, who went over the company's benefits (medical, dental, vacation days, etc.) and gave me a tour of the office.
Two days after this interview, I received an email saying that I was not the best candidate for the position, and that my information would be kept on file at the company should another position open up.
