Candidatei-me por meio de uma agência de recrutamento. O processo levou 2 semanas. Fui entrevistado pela J.B. Hunt Transport (Lowell, AR) em out. de 2025
Entrevista
Interview process calls for an initial 45 minute screening with hiring manager and 2 team members, and then a second and final interview that's more code intensive as per the hiring manager. I didn't make it past the 1st round. Only the hiring manager (https://www.linkedin.com/in/p-dugan/) and a mid to senior developer (https://www.linkedin.com/in/brett-reinhard-0a974844/) showed up. Most of the technical questions were fired by the developer. That's a red flag that a less than senior dev is interviewing someone for a senior role. The questions seemed basic, and if you don't answer them exactly as per the way JB Hunt Transport runs their IT shop, then you'll be rejected. How am I supposed to know how you do things if I don't work for you? Every environment is unique and you're supposed to evaluate me on my overall technical expertise and not the custom way your systems work.
It seems the hiring manager is not technically strong despite what his LinkedIn says, and was relying too heavily on an inexperienced developer for a fair assessment of a senior level candidate with way more experience. I could swear the developer for the interview questions straight from AI and he really had no clue or experience screening candidates, so please beware.. I felt I demonstrated technical fitness with my answers, and no one can convince me otherwise. At the same time I'm almost glad I didn't get an offer. Sometimes things like this point to a sign a dysfunction within the team I was vying for. Things happen for a reason I guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
