I was contacted by a recruiter via email and then via text message. I had an initial phone interview with another recruiter. During the phone interview I was asked about my interests and what kind of jobs I was applying for. She then told me about the merchandising coordinator position and invited me to come in for a interview the next week. I was told that I would be meeting with one person and then found out when I arrived that I was going to be interviewed by three people. Everyone was extremely friendly and welcoming. However, I left the 3.5 hour interview very hungry having not been prepared on how long it would last. The first interview entailed finding a part in the catalog and talking out-loud how I would find the part. The second round I was just asked about my previous work experience and then the third round I was given a company presentation and asked things on the spot about how I would look for information and how the company was organized. I was then quizzed again during a tour of the warehouse. As someone who had never been in a warehouse I answered thoughtfully to why I thought the warehouse was set up a certain why, but was not able to answer the questions correctly. I was told I would be contacted in a week and sent out thank you letters the next day. Four days later I received a surprising email that I had not been chosen for the position even though I thought that the interview had gone well.

Interview process was quick and fairly painless. I was contacted by a recruiter who found my resume on Indeed. A week after our phone screener I was invited for an on-site interview and about 3 business days after, they made the final decision. Although I didn't get an offer I appreciate how well run the process was. During the two hour on-site interview they managed to squeeze in a building tour, plant tour, second interview with HR, interview with the hiring manager, and a briefing with someone already in the role on what to expect.
